Here is one more nugget from yesterday's SCOTUS orders list. In the Rhode Island Indian law case of Carcieri v. Kempthorne, No. 07-526, the Court denied all the motions for divided argument. Tony Mauro at BLT has this post over the "massive impasse" that has resulted. Will Rhode Island and the Town of Charleston be represented by the lawyer who has handled the case for 10 years or SCOTUS veteran and former SG Ted Olson? Will the other side (the federal government and the tribe) be represented by the SG or Tom Goldstein? It will be interesting to see how that shakes out.

Update (10/9): Tony reports it "gets nastier."
