Courts - What is still pending before SCOTUS?
The great SCOTUSBlog has posted its newest edition of StatPack, including a list of the 22 cases yet to be decided (some opinions may be issued tomorrow). Look at pp. 10-12 for the outstanding cases as of 6/9/08. Two on the list are of particular interest to the ILB:
District of Columbia v. Heller (07-290) - Argued 3/18/2008. Whether D.C. code violates the Second Amendment right of individuals who are not affiliated with any state-regulated militia, but who wish to keep handguns and other firearms for private use in their homes. [See ILB entries from Sept. 8, 2007 and Nov. 20, 2007.]Indiana v. Edwards (07-208) - Argued 3/26/2008. Whether States may adopt a higher standard for measuring competency to represent oneself at trial than for measuring competency to stand trial. [See ILB entry from March 26th here.]
