A Quiet Morning at SCOTUS

by ·

The U.S. Supreme Court released an orders list this morning, taking up one set of consolidated civil cases. No criminal cases were taken up. No action was taken on a widely anticipated case regarding the Confrontation Clause and testimony on DNA test results, Chavis v. Delaware, No. 20-317. That case will likely be considered in another conference soon.

In oral argument today, the Court considered the statute of limitations in rape cases in military court in United States v. Briggs, No. 19-108 and United States v. Collins, No. 19-184.

The main SCOTUS action today is, of course, over in the Senate, but that’s another topic.
