BREAKING: Cert Denied in Wisconsin John Doe Case at SCOTUS

Here is the order list:

14-872 O’KEEFE, ERIC, ET AL. V. CHISHOLM, JOHN, ET AL. The motion of Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty for leave to file a brief as amicus curiae is granted. The motion of The Maciver Institute for Public Policy for leave to file a brief as amicus curiae is granted. The motion of Cause of Action for leave to file a brief as amicus curiae is granted. The motion of Center for Competitive Politics, et al. for leave to file a brief as amici curiae is granted. The motion of The Cato Institute for leave to file a brief as amicus curiae is granted. The motion of respondents John T. Chisholm, David Robles, and Bruce J. Landgraf for leave to file a brief in opposition under seal with redacted copies for the public record is granted. The petition for a writ of certiorari is denied.

This is not a big surprise, as this really was not a good case for looking at the campaign finance/coordination issues presented, especially because much of it could be mooted by an expected decision of the Wisconsin Supreme Court this summer which, along party lines, could well put the case to rest.

(No order today in Evenwel v. Abbott, the one person, one vote non-citizen voting case, but I’m expecting an eventual summary affirmance [corrected].)
