Most of the filings are now in -- by my rough count, approximately 140 separate briefs on the four distinct issues. Here is what remains on the schedule:
* Monday, February 27: reply briefs of the Solicitor General and the respondents (challengers) are due on the Anti-Injunction Act issue (No. 11-398).
* Wednesday, March 7: the Solicitor General's reply brief is due on the minimum coverage provision issue (No. 11-398).
* Monday, March 12: the states' reply brief is due on the Medicaid issue (No. 11-400).
* Monday, March 12: also due that day is the reply brief of the Court-appointed amicus curiae on the Anti-Injunction Act issue (No. 11-398).
* Tuesday, March 13: reply briefs of the Solicitor General and the petitioners (challengers) are due on the severability issue (Nos. 11-393 and 11-400).
This should take us close to a total of 150 briefs, well in excess of my original over/under number of 130. This litigation continues to impress!
