#SCOTUS sends more than two dozen cases back to the 2nd, 5th, 7th, 8th, 9th, & 11th circuits in light of the recent decision in Sessions v. Dimaya — finding an immigration removal provision to be unconstitutionally vague.
It's a three-box day. Opinions coming shortly. #SCOTUS
Here is the full orders list, btw: https://www.supremecourt.gov/orders/courtorders/051418zor_j4el.pdf … #SCOTUS
#SCOTUS paves the way for sports betting in Murphy v. NCAA, striking down a federal law that has banned states from allowing it.
Here is the decision in Murphy v. NCAA. Opinion by Alito, and only Ginsburg and Sotomayor fully dissent. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/17pdf/16-476_dbfi.pdf … #SCOTUS
The second decision is Dahda v. US, opinion by Breyer, affirming the 10th Circuit. Decision: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/17pdf/17-43_m648.pdf … #SCOTUS
Justice Ginsburg has the decision in McCoy v. Louisiana, holding that the 6th Amendment allows a defendant to insist that his lawyer not admit guilt, even when the lawyer thinks that's the best way to avoid the death penalty.
The decision is 6-3. Alito is joined by Thomas and Gorsuch in dissent. The Chief Justice and Kennedy joined the more liberal justices. Decision: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/17pdf/16-8255_i4ek.pdf … #SCOTUS
The next opinion is Byrd v. US. Opinion is by Kennedy, for a unanimous court, vacating and remanding the 3rd Cir. Thomas (joined by Gorsuch) and Alito write concurring opinions.
In Byrd, #SCOTUS rules that you don't need to have your name on a rental agreement to have a reasonable expectation of privacy if you're legally driving the car.
The final decision is US v. Sanchez-Gomez. The decision is by Chief Justice Roberts, holding that the case — about shackling of defendants — is moot. #SCOTUS
The decision in Sanchez-Gomez is here: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/17pdf/17-312_i426.pdf … #SCOTUS
That's it. Today's 6 decisions mean that 33 argued cases remain — including 4 heard in 2017 (Epic, Gill, Carpenter, & Masterpiece). The next possible day for #SOTUS decisions is next Monday, May 21.
Me, on Murphy v. NCAA: "The decision was 6, 2, and Breyer."

Sports betting company CEO: "If we do this the right way, the only losers will be the illegal bookies that have been operating a massive black market." Me: You know you're talking about betting, right? In which there are obviously going to be losers, which is ... your business.pic.twitter.com/9K61YTLaVI
[Correction: In Azar v. Garza, DOJ is asking for the court to take the case in order to toss out, or vacate, the lower court decision, not reverse it. Thanks for the note, @isamuel.]
Didn’t DOJ just ask for a Munsingwear vacatur + sanctions?
Yes, I should have written "toss out" the lower court decision, which I've written previously:https://twitter.com/chrisgeidner/status/985874656786862081 …
