Adam Liptak has an important column in the NYT Sunday Review on judicial elections. It discusses, among other cases, the Williams-Yulee case that the Supreme Court could agree to take up next week. It also discusses the Ninth Circuit’s Wolfson case, which, after Adam’s article went to press, the Ninth Circuit agreed to rehear en banc.

And in Williams-Yulee, this has to be one of the shortest cert. reply briefs on record.
