SCOTUSBlog reports that Bauer v. Shepard is on the conference list for today. If cert. is granted, we’ll likely get an announcement Tuesday. I discussed the case here, and a related case here. Given the prominence of Judge Easterbrook, the importance of the issue, and the likelihood that conservative Justices on the Supreme Court will be interested in the First Amendment issues in this case, I think it is likely (though not certain) that the Court will take this case.
