The Supreme Court dismissed as improvidently granted the case of Robertson v. United States ex rel. Watson, the case on the victim being able to prosecute criminally a violation of a domestic violence restraining order. When the case first came up, CJLF decided not to file an amicus brief because quirks in the case led us to believe it would not be as significant as it first appeared. Apparently the Court belatedly came to the same conclusion.

Chief Justice Roberts, joined by Justices Scalia, Kennedy, and Sotomayor, dissent. I do not expect to see that lineup very often.

Update: More on this case here.
