Supreme Court Grants Cert in Brendlin v. California:

Wow, that was fast. Today the Supreme Court[1] granted cert in
Brendlin v. California, the Fourth Amendment traffic stop case that I
blogged about a few weeks ago.
The timing of the grant is particularly interesting to me. The Court
requested a response on Monday January 8th, and California filed its
brief in opposition (BIO) on that Friday, just four days later. The
Court distributed the case for today's conference and announced the
grant this afternoon, just 11 days after requesting a response. If
anyone has the BIO, can you send it to me? I'm curious if California
conceded that it was a good grant.
My prediction for the ultimate outcome: Brendlin will win
unanimously, for the reasons mentioned in my earlier post and in the
comment thread.
