Brett Kavanaugh arrives at the Supreme Court this morning for his first argument day, and everyone will be watching to see if the court’s newest member will join his new colleagues in their quick-fire questioning. We take a look at the arguments, which confront the Armed Career Criminal Act. Although the justices may be hoping for a quiet term after Kavanaugh’s bitter confirmation, one of the most politically tinged issues is back at the court—partisan gerrymandering. Kirkland & Ellis partner Paul Clement is hoping the justices will jump again into the thorny issue in his North Carolina case. We do a run-through of his arguments.
Thanks for following Supreme Court Brief, where comments are welcomed at [email protected] and [email protected].
