Re: The grasp of the obvious

The Supreme Court has already agreed to hear the case; the briefs referred to in the article were a result of that. Oral arguments by the actual parties (State of MO arguing against, Missouri Muni League arguing in favor of preempting state law to permit muni telecom) are scheduled for January. Decision likely will be released next summer. It's an odd picture, in that the State is arguing against its own citizens being provided service in order to protect its sovereignty vis-a-vis the federal government. Meanwhile, in order to protect its prior decision, the FCC has to argue against its own authority to preempt state law -- which is why it hasn't been too active in the case.
