      It's a one-box day for decisions at #SCOTUS. We just got the 5-minute buzzer, so decisions soon.

      First #SCOTUS decision is Nelson v. Colorado, Ginsburg reverses the Colorado Supreme Court.

      Alito concurs in judgment, Thomas dissents, and Gorsuch does not participate. So, an 8-1 decision against the state.

      #SCOTUS held that Colorado's "Exoneration Act" scheme for refunds does not comply with the 14th Am due process guarantee.

      Correction: 7-1, not 8-1, b/c Gorsuch did not participate. Me and morning math = No good.

      Final decision is Manrique v. US, opinion by Thomas, affirming the 11th Circuit. Decision is 6-2, Ginsburg and Sotomayor dissented.

          First take out of Trinity Lutheran: With Kagan calling the state's program a "burden on a constitutional right," the church is looking good.

          After Kagan went there, Sotomayor — critical of the church's argument — immediately raised a question about whether there's still adversity.

          Then, shortly thereafter, with arguments almost done, Gorsuch weighed in for the first time, asking a follow-up Q on Kagan's line of Qs.

          After Sotomayor raised the adversity question, the Chief quickly followed up by asking whether voluntary cessation doctrine applied here.

          Earlier, Ginsburg questioned mootness but suggested a DIG possibility by saying state policy change might've changed cert grant decision.

          Breyer was focused on line-drawing at the extreme end of the state's argument, whether fire/police protection to churches could be limited.

          Kennedy was not too talkative, but he asked the church about whether, absent Estab Clause issue, states can draw no relig distinctions.

          Later, to the state, Kennedy picked up on that, calling this distinction in Missouri "status-based," thus distinct from Locke.

          Alito, giving specific examples of fed/state safety/security enhancement programs, asked whether MO would allow church participation.

          State lawyer said that the answer, traditionally, would be no.
