Following up on GAO’s previous motion for leave to file an amicus curiae brief in support of the United States in U.S. v. Minnesota (see here), which the state opposed (and the court denied, seemingly misconstruing the filing which GAO seeks to support), GAO has refiled seeking permission to put its findings into the record.
