One decision today: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers v. Hawkes. Opinion by the Chief Justice, affirming the 8th Circuit.
#SCOTUS -
There are no dissents, although Kennedy (joined by Thomas and Alito) and Kagan concur. Ginsburg concurs in part and in judgment.
-
Kennedy's concurring opinion begins, "My join extends to the Court's opinion in full."
#SCOTUS -
(Yes, by the way, the Chief punked the
#SCOTUS press corps today. When the only decision was from him, many of us thought it was Fisher.) -
And, that's it from
#SCOTUS until Monday, June 6, when more orders and opinion(s) will be expected.
