As I’ve noted, Jim Bopp, for Citizens United, asked for expedited consideration of his appeal, requesting that the case be heard this term. According to the Supreme Court’s docket, the FEC filed a motion to dismiss or affirm the case yesterday, and Citizens United filed some kind of supplementary material.
The Supreme Court issued orders today, but nothing about the Citizens United case. That might mean that a summary affirmance will appear with additional orders on Tuesday. But given that the opposition just came in yesterday, it is possible that if any Justices are interested in the case the Court will relist it for the next conference.
I’ve predicted a summary affirmance at this stage of the case.
