And, it's a one-box Tuesday (no more than two opinions) — so we're going to have another opinion day after today (as expected since the Chief Justice didn't say yesterday that today would be the last day of the term). #SCOTUS

Tomorrow, Wednesday, will be the last day for opinions, the Chief Justice announces.

Note: Whenever the court says, "we may assume without deciding that plaintiffs’ statutory claims are reviewable," it means the plaintiffs lost that argument.pic.twitter.com/7ZI2KUotHx

On those statutory claims, the court rules, explicitly, that the law allows the president to ban all people from a given country.pic.twitter.com/kMrQR36sf1

This is true. Additionally, there were things she said in the courtroom — sometimes just an adjective here or there, but also full sentences like the one I noted above — that do not appear in her written dissent.https://twitter.com/ninatotenberg/status/1011636931548020736?s=21 …

I wonder if the court is still friendly to one another after decisions like this
-
Apparently they're like amazingly close despite the differences. Thinking it's mostly because they all spend ALL of their time cloistered in their chambers reading law and worrying about the constitution. They respect each other for their bona fides and conviction if nothing else
-
Generally don’t mind that they have a cordial relationship, but when Sotomayor is laying out her dissent in such strong terms, I wonder if something like this strains those relationships (and perhaps they ought to be strained, it’s an amoral ruling!)
-
Not wrong. Good question too...I just wouldn't be surprised if the "temperature" is always low in chambers because of all the self policing decorum stuff every justice has a low key fetish for lol
-
It seems, from what I’ve read, that Gorsuch’s arrogance has strained cordiality. I would assume as more amoral judgements are being made, the progressives would feel more revulsion. I know I am.

Your right! Forgot that fuccboi presented at Heritage and John Birch Society...as a totally apolitical jurist. Hope he gets kicked in the dick, literally.

When I was a kid, I believed the Supreme Court was the best, most impartial court in the land. Then I grew up, and saw it was just as prone to ideological fuckery as the rest of government.

History's going to shit on this whole era.

Can we do that in the present as well or do we need to wait for it to be history first?

It is time for the four SCOTUS judges committed to protecting freedom for all Americans and the legitimacy of the court leverage their ability to not show up to deny the court a quorum on fraudulent cases. Any court with Gorsuch will forever be illegitimate.
