re: #580 pink freud

The case has already been heard by the Supremes, Sharm, and is awaiting a ruling (which should be announced early July, I believe). They will be either upholding or reversing her appellate decision. The sticky point here is that the Supremes’ ruling may come down in the time period during which she is undergoing the Senate confirmation process. Could get real interesting, especially if they overturn her ruling …

Anecdotal accounts of the questioning by the Justices during oral arguments lead legal analysts to believe that she will be overturned.
