Short list of cases taken in the long conference

| 2 Comments
The U.S. Supreme Court opens its new term on Monday.  This morning it released a short list of five cases in which it granted review.  That list can be found here.  Of the five cases, only one is criminal.  

In United States v. Sineneng-Smith, No.19-67, the justices agreed to review a Ninth Circuit decision that struck down as unconstitutional a federal law (8 U.S.C. ยง 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv) and (B)(i)) that makes it a crime to encourage or induce illegal immigration for financial gain.

On Monday the Court will release a much longer list of cases it reviewed at the long conference that was held earlier this week.

I hope the Supremes took that case to reverse it.

They reverse about 2/3 of those they take. I haven't seen a figure specifically for U.S. Solicitor General cases, but I would bet it's higher.
