Gerry Hebert: “It has been widely predicted that the US Supreme Court will grant certiorari in Shelby County, Alabama’s challenge to the constitutionality of Section 5 of the VRA. The case is set for conference tomorrow and we could learn as early as Monday whether the Court will take up this challenge. I do not believe the Court will, or should, hear Shelby County’s challenge.”
FWIW, I’ve been predicting a cert grant and eventual overturning of section 5.
