Congratulations to our colleague Bill Maurer, who did an outstanding job arguing before the U.S. Supreme Court today in Arizona Free Enterprise Club v. Bennett. As the early news coverage notes, the conservative members of the Court were skeptical of the government’s arguments and seemed inclined to hold
For more information on the case, be sure to check out Maurer’s op-ed in today’s edition of USA Today and my colleague Steve Simpson’s op-ed at Townhall.com. Additional pre-argument coverage by John Lott and Brad Smith is available at National Review Online and the Wall Street Journal.
We will continue to provide links to news coverage of the argument, and will provide a link to the argument transcript as soon as it becomes available.
