i missed this one yesterday. among the cert grants, ij.org was grated cert on a case about whether to incorporate the excessive fines clause of the 8th amendment to the states via the 14th amendment.

this is very important in terms of supreme court doctrine. looking forward to gorsuch's take on it.

there is a pleading i'm working on atm, where i could probably toss in an excessive fines defense and counterclaim.

my health has been so bad lately that i can't work a regular physical labor kind of job, so i'm getting a lot closer to getting back into the practice of law, simply because its one of the few options left.
