We have opinions in argued cases coming at 10a, followed by arguments in the Abbott v. Perez (Texas redistricting) and Animal Science Products v. Hebei Welcome Pharm Co. #SCOTUS
It's a two-box day for opinions. #SCOTUS
First decision is in Oil States Energy Services LLC v. Greene's Energy Group LLC. Opinion by Thomas, affirming the Federal Circuit. Gorsuch, joined by the Chief, dissents. #SCOTUS
Breyer, joined by Ginsburg and Sotomayor, concurs.
Oil States decision: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/17pdf/16-712_87ad.pdf … #SCOTUS
Second decision is SAS Institute v. Iancu. 5-4 opinion by Gorsuch, reversing the Federal Circuit. (It's a related matter; that's why Thomas went first.) #SCOTUS
Ginsburg dissents, joined by Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan. Breyer dissents, joined by Ginsburg and Sotomayor. #SCOTUS
SAS Institute decision: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/17pdf/16-969_f2qg.pdf … #SCOTUS
Final decision is in Jesner v. Arab Bank. Kennedy writes, affirming the Second Circuit. #SCOTUS
Jesner majority was splintered. But the dissent was not: Sotomayor filed the dissenting opinion, joined by Ginsburg, Breyer, and Kagan.
Here is the Jesner decision: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/17pdf/16-499_1a7d.pdf … #SCOTUS
That's it, so I am headed up to the courtroom.
First take out of #SCOTUS: The more liberal justices are trying to get the Texas racial gerrymandering case tossed on jurisdictional grounds. CJ Roberts repeatedly pressed the litigants to move on from juris. questions (after several minutes each) to hit the merits issues.
That’s not intended to suggest an unwillingness on their point to engage on the merits; I just got the impression they felt that Texas shouldn’t have been able to get to SCOTUS at this point in the litigation.
The way they're all dressed, you'd think they were going to the theater.https://twitter.com/chrisgeidner/status/988765924571451394 …
What a wonderful job you have, Chris! And your descriptions and explanations are interesting and well articulated. Thank you!
Too bad Cruz isn't there to argue the case.
Merrick Garland should be deciding this. But @SenateMajLdr hates the constitution.
