Ex Post Facto

On Tuesday, August 18, the Supreme Court issued an order in Mnuchin, et al. v. Collins, et al., No. 19-563 and the cross-appeal that began, “Mnuchin, et al., shall file an opening brief on the questions presented by the petition in No. 19-563, limited to 13,000 words, by Monday, August 17, 2020….”

Surprisingly enough, the Solicitor General met the deadline. And I always thought “Get it done yesterday!” was just hyperbole.
