It is somewhat plausible that the U.S. Supreme Court will put the Arizona ballot access case on its conference of February 27. The case is Brewer v Nader, 08-648. The issues are the early June petition deadline for independent candidates, and the state’s ban on out-of-state circulators. The Court has heard from both sides on whether it should take the case. The next conference for the Court is February 20, but Brewer v Nader is not on that conference. After that, the next conference is February 27.

Isn’t this case now called Bennett v. Nader?
Logically it should be called that, but no one has bothered to ask the Court to update the Governor’s name, and the US Supreme Court still calls it Brewer v Nader.
