The Supreme Court heard argument in the case this week (October 8), where “Justice Antonin Scalia bluntly argued that the Court did not need facts,” as Lyle Dennison at Scotusblog pointed out.
We can expect a decision in a few months. As usual, Scotusblog has a lot of links to the briefs and background in one place.
