Today at the Supreme Court: 3/30/07

UPDATE 8:30 p.m. Because the Court closed for the day some hours ago, it became apparent that there were no immediate orders out of the Friday Conference. All results will emerge at 10 a.m. Monday.

The Court is holding a private Conference today to discuss new and pending cases. Our list of “Petitions to Watch” for this Conference can be found here.

Several scenarios involving the Boumediene/Al Odah detainee cases, which are being considered by the Court today, can be found in an earlier post here or in today’s New York Times here. Additionally, the petitioners in Hamdan v. Gates and Khadr v. Bush have asked the Court once again to consider their petition at today’s Conference (see here).

If any orders relating to these or other cases are issued this afternoon, we will post them promptly. Regular orders relating to today’s Conference are scheduled to be released Monday at 10 AM eastern.
