There are two arguments today, both in personal jurisdiction cases, and we are also waiting for opinions at 10.

Is there anywhere to watch/hear the oral arguments live?

Good morning! Is it possible for Justice Gorsuch to make a vote on cases that were argued before he became a justice, but have no yet been decided?

One box today.

Seems odd that Justice Gorsuch is listed as not participating in most of yesterday's orders.

What's the most likely candidate for J Gorsuch's first opinion? If not Perry v. MSPB, what else is out there?

Amy is getting in line for opinions now.

Are there any particular conventions relating to first opinion assignments? Does the new justice normally get assigned something routine or boring? Is there any element of choice involved?

Thomas and Ginsburg filed opinions concurring in judgment

Comment ()
In a suit brought against a tribal employee in his individual capacity, the employee rather than the tribe is the real party in interest and the tribe's sovereign immunity is not implicated.

Todd Henderson will have our analysis in Lewis v. Clarke. Here is the opinion. www.supremecourt.gov

by Andrew Hamm 4/25/2017 2:04:59 PM

Comment ()
That an employee was acting within the scope of his employment when the tort was committed is not on its own sufficient to bar a suit against that employee based on tribal sovereign immunity.

by Amy Howe 4/25/2017 2:05:57 PM

Comment ()
And an indemnification provision does not extend a tribe's sovereign immunity where it would not otherwise reach.

The decision of the Supreme Court of Connecticut is reversed and remanded.

Will there be any discussion/report of the oral arguments being heard today, as it happens? (Bristol Myers and BNSF)

Easy opinion to remember the name of.
