This amicus brief is out, but I can't find a link where it has been published. The Supreme Court web site might have it up Friday. It argues mostly that Exxon can't move the main basis of its defense away from the Trans-Alaska Pipeline Authorization Act of 1973. The State Legislature, some of our living former governors and the Legislative Council are the petitioners. I'll update this post when I find a link. The brief - 26 pages - is too long to post, and I'm not sure it can be posted yet.
Update - Friday @ noon: Here's a place where you can read or download a PDF of the brief. More info on the current status of case review here.
Update - Sunday @ 1:30 p.m: Sheila Toomey noted in today's Alaska Ear column at the ADN, that neither Keith Miller nor Frank Murkowski signed onto the legislative council's brief. One of the signatory governors, Wally Hickel, wrote an endorsement of Barack Obama in today's ADN, and another of the signatories is about to make the news in an entirely different way.
