JUDGES RYAN AND STUCKY CONFIRMED; OATHS TAKEN; WHAT ABOUT JOHN DOE?

It took them a while to update the Thomas site, but the Senate confirmed Judges Stucky and Ryan by voice vote. Both judges took the oath on December 20, 2006. Does anyone have any pictures from this event? E-mail lawyerdad – at – gmail –dot– com

I was skimming through some of the forthcoming cases and ran across this granted issue:

No. 06-0943/NA. U.S. v. Malcolm M. MACK. CCA 200400133. Review granted on the following issues:
. . .

II. WHETHER THE EVIDENCE IS LEGALLY INSUFFICIENT TO PROVE THAT APPELLANT CONSPIRED WITH JOHN DOE TO OBSTRUCT JUSTICE WHERE THERE IS NO EVIDENCE IN THE RECORD THAT JOHN DOE EVER EXISTED.

Wow! After I read the unpublished NMCCA opinion, I was a little curious about whether there were any co conspirators too. Did anyone hear the argument, or do you have a link to the brief? I wonder if the appellant will say, "I did it all myself there was no one else."

Thanks for the encouragement, by the way.


EDIT: it looks like the links from thomas are only temporary. I changed it so it takes you the the presidential nominations page.
