September 29, 2009 is the next date of importance for those who are following incorporation and SCOTUS. Maloney has been added to the court's calender for that date, joining the 2 Chicago cases on incorporation. The conference will decide whether to grant or deny cert for pending cases.
Of note is the addition of Maloney on the same date as the Chicago cases. It is possible for SCOTUS to join these cases for purposes of deciding the issue of incorporation. If they do that, Sotomayor will be disqualified from participating in the case due to the fact that she heard Maloney at the Court of Appeals level.
We should know within in a few days after Sept 29 if cert is granted. My bet is that Cert will indeed be granted.
