#SCOTUS vacates the original Fourth Circuit decision in Gavin Grimm's case, which was based on deference to the Obama admin's policy.
MY REPORT: Supreme Court Will Not Hear Transgender Student’s Case This Term https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/supreme-court-will-not-hear-transgender-students-case-this-t?utm_term=.rlJaeWr5l3 … #SCOTUS
Opinions coming shortly. #SCOTUS
First opinion: Beckles v. US. Thomas for #SCOTUS: Fed Sentencing Guidelines, incl. residual clause, are not subject to vagueness challenges.
Final #SCOTUS opinion is Pena-Rodriguez v. Colorado. Kennedy writes the 5-3 opinion, joining the liberals, in case of juror's racial bias.
Kennedy writes that the no-impeachment rule must give way when a juror makes a clear statement that s/he relied on racial stereotypes.
Justice #Kennedy was not joined on Opinion by 'liberals', @chrisgeidner ; he was instead opposed by nonthinkers [in this instance].

thanks for sharing
I thought justice was justice now it's predicated on who's in charge?Will need to look at this further.
not necessarily, lower courts reasoning no longer held so they sent it back. Might rehear it later (I'd say likely)
have there been other precedents for this type of reconsidering?
yes, it's not that uncommon for appellate courts to do it while instructing lower courts to do something different
thanks!
to be fair, it still isn't a great sign, just saying it's not necessarily dire
This is horrible
probably was the intent of that stupid change
@BuzzFeedNews transgender and gays have no place in the boy scouts .... thete mental illness needs to be addressed
only mental problem is bigots' overwhelming fear of anyone unlike them. Grow up.
