SCOTUSblog online symposium previews “Bridgegate” political corruption case

Though there are other cases to be argued earlier in the coming Supreme Court Term that are sure to be of interest to sentencing fans, I suspect more than a few folks in the white-collar bar are especially excited for Kelly v. United States, a high-profile political fraud case on the SCOTUS docket this Term.  I know the great folks at SCOTUSblog are focused on this case, as they put together an online symposium this week with a lot of leading white-collar crime voices.  Here are the links, with all recommended reading:

• Amy Howe, “Bridgegate” scandal comes to the court (corrected)

• Frank Bowman, Kelly v. United States: There is no political exception to fraud
