On July 12, Miguel Estrada of Gibson Dunn & Crutcher delivered the Annual Supreme Court Roundup of the Federalist Society's D.C. Lawyers Chapter at the Mayflower Hotel.
After an introduction by Douglas R. Cox of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, Mr. Estrada began his remarks by continuing the tradition of highlighting an "inexplicable, stupid, embarrassing, or otherwise incomprehensible act by a public figure." This year's winner was former New York Congressman Anthony Weiner (pictured here in full Mets gear), who resigned last month amidst a Twitter and Facebook sex scandal.
Mr. Estrada went on to summarize some statistics and to highlight several interesting cases from what he deemed to be, overall, a particularly "boring" Term, including Snyder v. Phelps, Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Assn., Arizona Free Enterprise Club's Freedom Club PAC v. Bennett, American Electric Power Co. v. Connecticut, and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. v. Dukes.
