It is likely, but not certain, that the U.S. Supreme Court will reveal on March 9 whether it will hear Brewer v Nader, 08-648, the case in which Arizona is trying to reverse the 9th circuit decision that struck down an early June petition deadline for independent presidential candidates, and also struck down the ban on out-of-state circulators.

The Court had the case on its Friday, March 6 conference, but revealed no news on Friday.
