<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"; color:black">I phoned the U.S. Supreme Court and learned that today was the
<u>estimated</u> decision day. That still may turn out to be accurate. The staff have no way of knowing exactly when the Justices will make the announcement that they will hear the Alameda case or let the District court decision stand.<br>
<br>
By the way, I have heard the argument that the best outcome would be for the court to hear the case and uphold the law. That precedent would do more to prevent future legal challenges to similar laws than if they simply let the lower court ruling stand.<br>
