Supreme Court bound? I couple of posts ago, I blogged on the case of United States v. Doe. See that post for the details (or check the decision for the full details). I should note that, according to footnote 4 thereof, the decision is in conflict with a Seventh Circuit decsion and in sharp tension with decisions of the Eighth and D.C. Circuits. The Court stated: "We are mindful that uniformity among the circuits fosters predictability in the invocation of the privilege and supresses forum shopping. We are in no position, however, to resolve this tension in the law." Could this case be heading to the Supreme Court?
