Supreme Court GVAR's Real Truth About Obama, Does Not Rule in First Circuit Felon Disenfranchisement Case [corrected headline]

The Court's order is here. On RTAO, the Court's order reads:

09-724 REAL TRUTH ABOUT OBAMA, INC. V. FEC, ET AL.

The petition for a writ of certiorari is granted. The judgment is vacated, and the case is remanded to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit for further consideration in light of Citizens United v. Federal Election Comm'n, 558 U.S. ___ (2010), and the Solicitor General's suggestion of mootness.

On the First Circuit felon disenfranchisement case, the Court did not rule on the cert petition. [An earlier version of this post mistakenly said the Court had denied cert.] I continue to believe that the felon disenfranchisement case from the "liberal" Ninth Circuit has a decent chance of a cert. grant.
