First opinion of the day is a unanimous opinion from Thomas in Nebraska v. Parker, affirming the 8th Circuit. #SCOTUS
-
-
The 8th Circuit held the the text of the ECOA is unambiguous, thus did not defer to the Federal Reserve's interpretation of "applicant."
-
The 6th Circuit, however, found the Equal Credit law's meaning of "applicant" to be ambiguous — as did, apparently, the 7th Circuit.
-
@chrisgeidner But the Court is just fine at 8 for the next year. This will cause no issues.

@chrisgeidner Waiting to see a 4-4 split on a particularly divisive case/issue. I worry reading into Hawkins could overplay its importance -
@AdamSFeldman I don't know what you mean. It is what it is. Not sure there's "reading into" anything. -
@chrisgeidner I get you are just conveying info. Implication is that may be more cases summarily affirmed. Think we should wait & see -
@AdamSFeldman You are welcome to do nothing. I'll explain to people what's happening, which is, like, my job.
-
@chrisgeidner I assume this is a twisted, sarcastic approval but since it is not really responding to my statement... -
@AdamSFeldman You can feel free to unfollow at any point.

@chrisgeidner Duly noted (there goes that sarcastic approval thingy again)
