“Senate workers’ rights: skepticism abounds”

Lyle Denniston has written this post on Office of Senator Dayton v. Hanson, which was argued in the Supreme Court last week. It begins: “When skepticism about a case before the Supreme Court is expressed in a half-dozen different ways, it is fair to speculate that the case may be doomed. What might be a historic test of the U.S. Senate’s potential immunity to being sued for workplace discrimination against its own employees proved fascinating to the Justices on Tuesday — but an across-the-bench uncertainty about reaching that question and about the merits of the issue dominated the hour of oral argument in Office of Senator Dayton v. Hanson (05-618).” You can find the transcript of oral argument here and an AP report here.
