Good morning, and welcome to our live blog, sponsored by Casetext.
It's a lovely day at the Supreme Court today, and a busy one. In just a few minutes, the justices will hear oral arguments in the challenge to the decision to include a question about citizenship on the 2020 census. But before that, we are expecting one or more opinions in argued cases at 10 am.
As is so often the case, we don't know how many opinions we are likely to get, nor do we know which ones.
For those of you who are not regulars here, the number of boxes is a rough proxy for the number of opinions that we could get. More boxes generally = more opinions.
Also, as in the past, I may wind up "ghosting" you after the last opinion is released so that I can get upstairs for arguments. It's me, not you . . . .
About to go in. Will today be the day we get Gundy, which has been kicking around since October? We'll know very soon.
No Gundy today. Emulex v. Varjabedian, which was just argued last week, I believe, was dismissed as improvidently granted. Going upstairs now.
Ronald Mann reported for SCOTUSblog after the oral argument in Emulex that "[s]everal justices were troubled that the broad argument against a private right of action was not raised properly in the lower courts."
There was a question about the next possible opinion day. Although sometimes the court releases opinions on the Wednesday of an argument week (i.e., tomorrow), they haven't made any sort of announcement at this point. So this means we are probably looking at Monday, April 29, when the court is already scheduled for a non-argument session, as the next opinion day. After that it would be Monday, May 13.
Alright, everyone, we are shutting down for today. We should have a lot of argument analyses to post today, with yesterday's cases and today's as well. The big case today as mentioned below is Dept. of Commerce v. New York. We hope to have Amy's report on that soon. Have a great rest of your morning!
