With Sen. Dan Sutton's fate in the hands of the state Supreme Court, both sides agreed to postpone a Moody County court hearing to give the high court more time to rule.
But the Supreme Court ruling could come as early as today, some predict.
"They act with extreme dispatch on important cases," South Dakota Attorney General Larry Long said Wednesday.After a telephone conference call Wednesday, it was decided that the circuit judge's hearing in Flandreau - which had been set for Friday - will be delayed until Jan. 26.
At issue in the court battle is whether the state Senate may hold disciplinary hearings for Sutton, a Flandreau Democrat. Sutton has denied an allegation of sexual misconduct with a teen Senate page last year.
