-
Meanwhile, Gorsuch's concurrence in Hicks v. US is Very Interesting.
-
Gorsuch also dissented to the denial of cert in Mathis v. Shulkin and urged the court to take up the questions in Bay Point Properties.
-
Here's the full orders list: https://www.supremecourt.gov/orders/courtorders/062617zor_8759.pdf …
#SCOTUS / Opinions coming in about 15 minutes. -
NOTE:
#SCOTUS, on a 5-4 vote (JR, CT, SA, NG dissenting) grants, vacates, remands death sentence in Toforest Johnson's case out of Alabama. -
It's a three-box Monday for the final day at
#SCOTUS. 6 cases remain (but up to 3 could be set for re-argument). -
First
#SCOTUS opinion is Justice Thomas with Davila v. Davis, siding against the capital murder defendant, in a 5-4 decision. -
Breyer dissents, for him, Ginsburg, Sotomayor, and Kagan. Decision in Davila: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/16pdf/16-6219_i425.pdf …
-
This means any remaining opinions handed down today will be from Thomas, Kennedy, or the Chief Justice.
#SCOTUS -
2nd decision is California PERS v. ANZ Securities, with Kennedy affirming the Second Circuit. Another 5-4 decision, w liberals dissenting.
-
All remaining decisions will come from Kennedy or the Chief Justice.
#SCOTUS -
Trinity Lutheran. The Chief Justice writes the decision, holding Missouri's policy violates the Free Exercise Clause.
#SCOTUS -
Notably, CT & NG do not join footnote saying decision is only on discrimination based on religious identity, not religious uses of funding.
-
"This Court — has never before ..." Sotomayor is reading her Trinity dissent, in which she is joined by Ginsburg, from the bench.
#SCOTUS -
Breyer concurred in judgment in Trinity Lutheran, noting "particular nature of the 'public benefit' here at issue" (playground material).
-
3 remaining cases are all ones in which Gorsuch did not participate in argument bc he was not yet on
#SCOTUS. We still have two boxes. -
Not quite sure what is about to happen here, b/c only the Chief should be handing down any opinions. Re-arguments would ~appear~ likely.
-
But, there's still a lot of box space left!

BREAKING: SCOTUS rules on travel ban case, limiting the stay to those with a bona fide connection to persons in the US.

CORRECTED:
#SCOTUS rules on travel ban case, limiting the injunctions to those with a bona fide connection to persons in the US. -
Here's the per curiam decision: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/16pdf/16-1436_l6hc.pdf …
-
#SCOTUS holds over Sessions v. Dimaya and Jennings v. Rodriguez to the next term. -
#SCOTUS, in per curiam decision, tosses Hernandez v. Mesa back to the Fifth Circuit without resolving much of anything. -

On the
#travelban decision — https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/supreme-court-allows-trump-to-enforce-his-travel-and?utm_term=.xk8vB8L3Va#.jeL6j70rgP … — I think it remains to be seen how big a change this is, given many have connections. -
This will be, as noted in my story, a matter of the administration's application of today's order and, ultimately, court interpretations.
-
Hmm. I'm not sure you can say this.pic.twitter.com/3dDAg60e0W
-
You definitely can't say it was unanimous — even beyond the fact that three justices dissented in part because they'd go further.
