When the U.S. Supreme Court hears oral arguments, it is customary that only one attorney for each side is permitted to speak. Occasionally the Court makes an exception, but if one side wants two attorneys to speak for it, it must get permission. On September 25, the Court refused to let two attorneys speak on the side of Washington state, in the “top-two” case. This probably means that the state’s Attorney General will be the sole speaker on behalf of the Washington state law, and the attorney for the Grange will not be permitted to speak. Alternatively, it is possible that only the Grange’s attorney will speak, and in that case the Washington state Attorney General won’t be allowed to speak.
