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

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.

by Edith Roberts 4/25/2017 1:58:04 PM

Comment ()
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?

8-0, without Gorsuch.

Thomas and Ginsburg filed opinions concurring in judgment

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.

This Week at the Court
The court is on its summer recess.
Major Cases
- Trump v. Hawaii
  The president has lawfully exercised the broad discretion granted to him under 8 U. S. C. §1182(f) to suspend the entry of aliens into the United States; respondents have not demonstrated a likelihood of success on the merits of their claim that Presidential Proclamation No. 9645 violates the establishment clause.
- South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc.
  Quill Corp. v. North Dakota and National Bellas Hess Inc. v. Department of Revenue of Illinois -- which held that a state cannot require an out-of-state seller with no physical presence in the state to collect and remit sales taxes on goods the seller ships to consumers in the state -- are overruled.
- Janus v. American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, Council 31
  The state of Illinois’ extraction of agency fees from nonconsenting public-sector employees violates the First Amendment; Abood v. Detroit Bd. of Ed., which concluded otherwise, is overruled.
- Gill v. Whitford
  Plaintiffs -- Wisconsin Democratic voters who rested their claim of unconstitutional partisan gerrymandering on statewide injury -- have failed to demonstrate Article III standing.
- Carpenter v. United States
  The government’s acquisition of Timothy Carpenter’s cell-site records from his wireless carriers was a Fourth Amendment search; the government did not obtain a warrant supported by probable cause before acquiring those records.
- Masterpiece Cakeshop, Ltd. v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission
  The Colorado Civil Rights Commission’s actions in assessing a cakeshop owner’s reasons for declining to make a cake for a same-sex couple’s wedding celebration violated the free exercise clause.
