More Reports on the Davenport Oral Arguments

Howard Bashman rounds up the stories here and here. See also this Supreme Court dispatch by Dahlia Lithwick at Slate. I’m not sure which line is more interesting: Stephen Henderson’s: ” Most oral arguments at the high court end ambiguously, with the justices leaving small hints about how they’ll resolve tricky legal dilemmas. But once in a while, there are arguments where the only lingering question seems to be who’ll write an opinion that reaches an obvious conclusion.” or Dahlia Lithwick’s: “But as the justices seem mostly to agree today, it’s not certainly not illogical to assume that if that cute freshman from your Russian-lit class already told you she didn’t want to go on a date with you, it’s a pretty safe bet she doesn’t want to have sex with you, either.” As I have said, this seems like one of those cases that the Court took for error correction purposes rather than to make any grand changes in the law.
