UNITED STATES, petitioner, v. Edith Schlain WINDSOR, in Her Capacity as Executor of the Estate of Thea Clara Spyer, et al.
Case below, 699 F.3d 169.
Petition for a writ of certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit granted. In addition to the question presented by the petition, the parties are directed to brief and argue the following questions: Whether the Executive Branch's agreement with the court below that DOMA is unconstitutional deprives this Court of jurisdiction to decide this case; and whether the Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group of the United States House of Representatives has Article III standing in this case.
