After what shaped up to be quite the busy day for the Supreme Court yesterday, one of several matters that remains unresolved is whether the Court will grant certiorari in Friedrichs v. California Teachers Ass’n (discussed extensively on this site). Originally scheduled for conference yesterday — and, presumably, for announcement on Monday — the Friedrichs cert. petition has been rescheduled for consideration on a date to be announced. SCOTUSblog suggests June 25, but there appears to be no official word from the Court yet on this.
