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?

What is the general impression of Justice Gorsuch after his first week of arguments?

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

by Edith Roberts 4/25/2017 2:03:16 PM

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.

by Edith Roberts 4/25/2017 2:04:22 PM

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.

by Amy Howe 4/25/2017 2:06:14 PM

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

by Amy Howe 4/25/2017 2:06:29 PM

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

what is the opinion line?

by rkeller1373 4/25/2017 2:09:10 PM

Easy opinion to remember the name of.

This Week at the Court
The justices are on their summer recess.
Major Cases
- Department of Commerce v. New York
  The secretary of the Department of Commerce did not violate the enumeration clause or the Census Act in deciding to reinstate a citizenship question on the 2020 census questionnaire, but the district court was warranted in remanding the case back to the agency where the evidence tells a story that does not match the secretary’s explanation for his decision.
- Kisor v. Wilkie
  Auer v. Robbins and Bowles v. Seminole Rock & Sand Co – under which deference is given to an agency’s reasonable reading of its own genuinely ambiguous regulations – are not overruled.
- Rucho v. Common Cause
  Partisan gerrymandering claims present political questions beyond the reach of the federal courts.
- The American Legion v. American Humanist Association
  The Bladensburg Cross does not violate the establishment clause of the First Amendment.
- Gamble v. United States
  The dual-sovereignty doctrine – under which two offenses are not the “same offence” for double jeopardy purposes if prosecuted by separate sovereigns – is upheld.
