Good morning, everyone! Welcome to our live blog, sponsored by Casetext.
We will get opinions at 10 am. We are not expecting orders today, although we did get a rare set of grants yesterday in a quintet of cases involving the First Circuit's ruling that the appointments of the members of Puerto Rico's Financial Oversight and Management Board were unconstitutional.
We are likely to get more orders from yesterday's conference on Monday at 9:30 am.
Even putting aside the opinions and orders yesterday, there was other action at the Court, as the federal government urged the justices NOT to send the census citizenship case back to the lower court for more fact finding on new evidence and the justices turned down a Georgia inmate's request to block his execution.
Addressing a lot of questions that have come in today, I think it's somewhat unlikely that we'll see a ruling in the census case today, if only because federal government's opposition to the challengers' request to send the case back to the district court just came in last night (and the justices may expect a reply from the challengers).
Just because we are getting a lot of questions about specific cases: There is no way to know which decisions we will get today, and at this point in the term I feel like almost anything is fair game with (as I have previously mentioned) the possible exception of the census case, just because there are still filings coming in for that case.
