Opinions of the Court
Over the last few days the Court has issued opinions in some very interesting cases. Of personal interest to me are the two “election” cases Randall v. Sorrell and LULAC v. Perry, as well as a case involving the Vienna Convention and the International Court of Justice Sanches-Lamas v. Oregon. All Court opinions can be accessed from the Court’s opinion webpage. Hopefully, once I have a chance to read all of the opinions I’ll post some thoughts, but for now I’ll just leave you with the line-up from LULAC v. Perry and ask can anyone help me with a pie chart to figure out what the law now is?
