The first
#SCOTUS decision is in Ayestas v. Davis. The court unanimously vacates the Fifth Circuit's decision against an inmate seeking funding to investigate ineffective assistance of counsel claim. Opinion: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/17pdf/16-6795_c9dh.pdf …Show this thread -
Alito, for
#SCOTUS, holds that the 5th Circuit used the wrong standard in reviewing the inmate's request and remands the case. Sotomayor, joined by Ginsburg, concurs to write that, in their view, "there should be little doubt that Ayestas has satisfied" the correct standard.Show this thread -

They have a history of waiting for these types of contentious cases to be released at the end of the term (June). I wouldn't expect Masterpiece to have a decision before then.

That’s what I was hoping for (Masterpiece Cakeshop) though I’m admittedly nervous for the ruling in that case because I think it will not go the way I want it to go.
