[JURIST] Connecticut Governor M. Jodi Rell [official website] and Attorney General Richard Blumenthal [official website] have said that the state will not file an immediate appeal [press release] to the US Supreme Court challenging a decision that allows the Base Closure and Realignment Commission [official website] to prepare Bradley Air National Guard Base for realignment. State officials have decided instead to make their case in the US District Court in Hartford after the realignment process is complete in November. The commission voted to send 15 planes currently stationed at Bradley to the Air Force's pool of planes and retire the rest but the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit [official website] ruled [PDF text] last week that Connecticut's case can be heard by the lower court prior to the removal of aircraft, even if the realignment process has been finalized.
