No opinions in criminal cases were issued today. The Court did not take any new cases, criminal or civil, in its orders list. (Yawn.)

Among the cases denied certiorari is Warner v. United States, No. 07-977. The codefendant on this case is former governor of Illinois, and now final-on-direct-appeal convicted felon, George Ryan. For his humanitarian achievements, Ryan is also a nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize, along with Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Crips founder "Tookie" Williams. See this 2005 LA Times op-ed by Eugene Volokh.

The AP has this summary of today's actions.
