In the case of DiGiacinto v. The Rector and Visitors of George Mason University oral arguments will be heard on Monday November 1, 2010 at the Virginia Supreme Court. There is no pre-scheduled time for cases to be heard. Seven cases will be heard that day with the arguments lasting 30 minutes for each case. Public seating is first come first serve and they do not allow admittance once arguments begin. The court begins at 9:00am and people are expected to be seated before that time.

so is it not important enough for slaying of chickens and goats?

"incanting spells" cannot be accomplished without entrails. Dumb amatuers have to have everything spelled out for them. [Yes, that's a bad pun.]

stay safe.

This thread (his post) was before the other, not after the other. Gotta keep the Skid in proper relationship to the horse. :D

Oral Arguments went well.

Details? A hint? Maybe a summary instead of merely a hint? Inquiring minds want to know.

But in the meantime - glad to hear that things went well. Breath is appropriately bated in anticipation of a ruling.

stay safe.

Good read. I know the author has a dog in the fight, but, if what he posted is an accurate representation of the hearing, I think a good outcome is on the horizon.

IMHO the state's argument certainly sounds weak.

Disagree. "weak" seems to imply that they have some modicum of viability, applicability, or usefulness other than filling up empty space. All I read was "But we did this! We have to be allowed to get away with it or we'll look stupid." Oh! And, "it's for the children!" except that they apparently abandoned that argument somewhere between the Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court. Woner why.

stay safe.

Thanks for the link.

While the Commonwealth's argument sounds like it was a bit scattered, it was coherent enough to put to rest any notion that Cuccinelli was not "in it to win it" in this case.
