      #SCOTUS, April 23, 2018. Travel ban week. Arguments aren’t until Wednesday, with big arguments on the administrative state and gerrymandering before then, but the focus this week, publicly, is clear.pic.twitter.com/prQedwWVbm

      A pair of grants, to be consolidated with one hour of argument, in US v Victor Stitt (17-765) and US v. Jason Sims (17-766). #SCOTUS

      Still nothing on Azar v. Garza (17-654), the undocumented teen abortion case that DOJ wants #SCOTUS to take up to vacate the lower court decision.

          #SCOTUS denies review in Bobby Bostic's case out of Missouri about whether "de facto" JLWOP (juvenile life without the possibility of parole) sentences — a lengthy period of years — are unconstitutional for the same reasons actual JLWOP sentences are (Bostic v. Dunbar, 17-912).

          In Lucia v. SEC—the case over whether SEC ALJs are "officers" needing presidential appointment—all of the justices except Thomas (as is his practice) spoke up. This is one of those cases that felt like the justices were really trying to figure out what the best path forward is.

          When Principal Deputy SG Wall noted that Breyer previously had suggested that all ALJs would be officers, Breyer countered that he was writing that in dissent then — listing a parade of horribles — whereas today, "It does not appear to me now as it appeared to appear to me then."

          When Wall asserted that you can argue that SEC ALJs issue binding decisions and said "it's manipulable," Justice Sotomayor countered, "Everything is manipulable."

          It truly was a very interesting argument, with important questions about the way effective governance is best ensured, through independence (removal from politics) or political accountability, and then what limits the Constitution places on those decisions.

          This afternoon we have Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein arguing in a rare afternoon #SCOTUS argument (which generally only happens when they have three arguments in a day) — this one about federal sentencing law.

          Here's my report from #SCOTUS today. Or, how a low-profile case about criminal sentences gave Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein a chance to spend an hour at the Supreme Court — and away from the news cycle.https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/rod-rosenstein-has-his-day-in-court?utm_term=.tmNrLNKMd#.wsy3XnqWp …
