At the conclusion of oral arguments in the United States Supreme Court yesterday, it was announced that the Court would return to the bench for a rare special sitting at 10 a.m. this morning. It is widely speculated that the Court will announce its decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the case that could overturn the landmark Austin v. Michigan Chamber of Commerce case which prevented the Michigan Chamber from endorsing Michigan Court of Appeals Judge Bandstra when he was running for the Michigan House of Representatives in 1985. The Grand Rapids Press article about Judge Bandstra and the Austin decision is here. Detailed information and the briefs in Citizens United can be found here.
