      #SCOTUS holds class certification was appropriate in the employees' case and that statistical evidence was appropriate as used in the case.

      The third #SCOTUS opinion is in Sturgeon v. Frost. The Chief Justice wrote the unanimous opinion, vacating and remanding 9th Cir opinion.

      The final opinion is in Hawkins v. Community Bank of Raymore, judgment affirmed "by an equally divided court" — our first 4-4 split. #SCOTUS

      When #SCOTUS is evenly divided on a case, the lower court decision stands. It is NOT a national precedent, though. As if case never taken.

      Today's equally divided court leaves in place a circuit split on whether guarantors can sue for violations of the Equal Credit Opp'y Act.

          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

          @chrisgeidner I assume this is a twisted, sarcastic approval but since it is not really responding to my statement...
