      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

      First decision is NIFLA v. Becerra. Thomas has the 5-4 decision split along ideological lines, finding that the California law's licensed notice "likely violates" the First Amendment and the unlicensed notice "unduly burdens speech." Breyer wrote the dissent. #SCOTUS

      BREAKING: The Supreme Court upholds Trump's third travel ban. Chief Justice John Roberts writes the decision, holding in the 5-4 decision that Trump exercised his broad statutory authority to "suspend entry of aliens into the United States.

          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 …

          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.

          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.

          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.
