The court went out with a bang Wednesday. Or as Justice Sonia Sotomayor put it at arguments, “a bomb.” 

This edition of the Supreme Court Brief explores some of the more off-beat exchanges that took place during nearly two hours of oral arguments Wednesday in Tyler v. Hennepin County. The case involves a 94-year-old woman whose home was seized by the government for unpaid taxes and then sold for a profit. You can read The National Law Journal’s coverage of the hearing here. Plus, an interview with judicial ethics expert Amanda Frost about the justices’ new ethical commitments.
