U.S. SUPREME COURT TO DECIDE
ON JUNE 7
ON JUNE 7
Today, the U.S. Supreme Court set June 7 as the date for a decision on the church case. The justices will meet in conference on that date and decide whether to grant cert, that is, whether to accept or deny the appeal. If the justices decide at that time (sometimes they postpone a decision), we can expect the court to announce the decision on the following Monday, June 11, 9:30-10:00 a.m.
Four of the nine justices must agree to grant cert in order for the court to accept the appeal.
I will return soon with more commentary on the matter before the high court. (I have been on vacation for a week and am just returning.)
