UPDATE ON U.S. V. LANE
C.A.A.F. heard oral arguments today in the U.S. v. Lane case (see my original post). As discussed in Centrist's post yesterday, USA Today ran a story about the case which was picked up by the Army Times. Today, the Congressional newspaper Roll Call got in on the action. And, JUST RELEASED: the Associated Press story about the oral argument.
From what I've heard, the judges didn't ask many questions about whether Lane had standing. Also, though it wasn't mentioned in their briefs, Judge Effron asked counsel about Article 66(g)! I wish this blog could claim some credit for that, but by all reports he is an extremely bright and well-read person. I'm sure he picked it up on his own, without the help of this very fine blog.
