      Off to #SCOTUS, where we have orders at 9:30a, followed by opinions in one or more of the outstanding 19 argued cases. Those cases include partisan and racial gerrymandering claims and Trump’s travel ban.

      Again, no action from #SCOTUS on Arlene's Flowers — a case raising similar issues to Masterpiece — today, meaning the florist's petition remains pending for a later conference.

      First decision is in Rosales-Mireles v. US. Sotomayor writes the court's 7-2 decision in favor of a criminal defendant whose Guidelines sentencing range was miscalculated. #SCOTUS

      Second decision is in Chavez-Meza v. US. Breyer writes the decision, in an unusual lineup, upholding the judge's sentencing decision below. Roberts, Thomas, Ginsburg, and Alito joined the majority. Kennedy, joined by Sotomayor and Kagan, dissented. Gorsuch did not participate.

          Next: Lozman v. City of Riviera Beach, Florida. Kennedy has the court's decision, holding that the existence of probable cause does NOT bar a First Amendment retaliation claim in this case. Thomas was the only justice to dissent. #SCOTUS

          Breaking: #SCOTUS holds that the challengers lacked standing in the Wisconsin partisan gerrymandering case, Gill v. Whitford, as presented thus far. Roberts wrote the majority decision, remanding the case. No justices dissented; there were multiple concurrences.

          We're still waiting on at least on more decision, and, per normal practice, it also would be a decision from the Chief Justice (but, they've gone out of order a couple times this term, when one decision should be released first).

          Final decision of the day is the Maryland partisan gerrymandering case. The court, in a per curiam decision, found the challengers did not meet the standards for #SCOTUS to reverse the district ct decision against issuing a preliminary injunction. They did not rule on the merits.

          In short, #SCOTUS punted in both cases on the merits issues of whether partisan gerrymandering claims can be made and, if so, what standards courts should use in evaluating them.
