Tuesday's criminal case before SCOTUS
Tomorrow morning, the Supreme Court will hear arguments in US v. Resendiz-Ponce, which asks whether the omission of an element of a criminal offense from a federal indictment can constitute harmless error. Basic previews of Resendiz-Ponce are available from summaries put together by folks at Cornell here and at Medill here.
Though I am not positive, I believe that oral argument in Resendiz-Ponce will be a showdown between two one of my favorite SCOTUS advocates: Michael Dreeben for the government (as petitioners). I am already looking forward to reading the transcript tomorrow.
UPDATE: I have corrected this post, thanks to this clarification. Also, I now see that SCOTUSblog has this preview of Resendiz-Ponce.

No, Doug. Jeff Fisher is arguing a different, non-criminal case Wednesday. He's not on the criminal case. See here.
