Bridgeport sex abuse files case goes to full Supreme Court

The Hartford Courant is reporting that Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia passed to the full court a request by the Diocese of Bridgeport, Conn., to keep clergy sex abuse files sealed.

The files will be sealed at least until the full court reviews the case on Sept. 29.

The diocese was appealing a ruling by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who had denied the diocese's request for a stay last week.
