Taylor v. Sturgell OA Transcript
Thanks to the fine folks at SCOTUS Blog you can read the transcript of yesterday's oral argument in Taylor v. Sturgell here. The court had lots of questions for both petitioner and respondent, and the discussion raises the possibility of a remand to determine whether there was collusion between the parties to the first and second suits. There certainly seems to have been a relationship between the parties at some point, but key questions for the Court will be when did that relationship need to exist and what exactly did it need to be for res judicata to prohibit the second suit.--Counseller
