New details about how lax document security was at the Supreme Court. For years some justices used private email accounts for sensitive information and burn bags were left in hallways in non-public areas of the court :

Looks like we're going to get a new Supreme Court ruling on the Second Amendment sooner rather than later because this new Fifth Circuit ruling strikes down the federal law prohibiting firearm possession by those subject to DV restraining orders.

It may sound like dry legalese, but “standing” —the issue of who has the legal right to be in crt—is big .In 2 Scotus cases this term Biden warns that if the court finds r-led states have standing— it could bring any administration’s policy to a halt.

And you are a professor steeped in these issues. Already it’s clear the lower courts are confused. Which means scotus likely to step in gain sooner rather than later?

Bruen’s discussion of analogies is endlessly frustrating. Using analogical reasoning in a common law system—to decide if case A extends to the present facts—is just fundamentally different in kind from asking whether historical law X is “similar enough” to a background check req.

Good morning from Scouts. Today we will get our 1st opinions (from argued cases) and we will be back to old times. That is, the justices will take the bench for the hand down + read a synopsis. We will get actual hard copies . But so much has changed over Covid. 1/5

In addition: 1st opinions are usually unanimous ones. Might we have fewer with this divided court? Did the emergency docket filings distract opinion writing? Roberts said last summer he is hopeful to return to normal. But what is "normal" anymore? 4/5

For one, Justice Ginsburg is no longer on the bench. She was very speedy and often penned the first opinion. But we also learned last week that Chief Justice Roberts has launched a "comprehensive review of the Court's document security protocol." that likely played a role. 3/5

Both sides of the ideological spectrum expressed concerns that the justices hadn’t been interviewed. This quick statement was meant to nip that in the bud.

New: The Marshal of the Supreme Court issued a new statement Friday, clarifying that she did indeed speak to all of the justices and found nothing to implicate them or their spouses. Questions were raised yesterday after her report failed to make that clear

Heres 1 more question We have yet to get an opinion from this term. That’s highly unusual. Monday is the next *possible*day. Does todays report —that points out flaws in security procedures —make it more or less likely we will get opinions any time soon?
About that Scotus report released today concerning the leak of the draft abortion opinion: it seems that neither the justices nor their spouses were interviewed:

The Fifth Circuit has just set oral argument--for March 8--on the case brought by Louisiana and other states challenging the Biden administration's effort to end Title 42. And, don't forget on March 1 the SCOTUS will hear the challenge by AZ & other states to keep T42 in place.

* Reminder * No SCOTUS opinions today. We are looking at the longest time the Court has ever taken between oral argument and issuing it's first opinion. The first argument was on Oct. 3, 2022. Now we're 106 days into the term. The longest it has taken previously is 65 days.

One possibility: The court has decided not to issue opinions on argument days since those sessions are already going extra-long. If that's the case, we could see a big batch on the court's non-argument session Jan. 23.
