Live blog of orders and opinions | June 11, 2018
We live-blogged as the Supreme Court released orders from the June 7 conference and opinions in argued cases. The justices called for the views of the solicitor general in three cases involving the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act: Sudan v. Owens, Opati v. Sudan and Sudan v. Opati. The justices also released their decisions in Husted v. A. Philip Randolph Institute, Sveen v. Melin, China Agritech Inc. v. Resh and Washington v. United States.

There's now a decent chance that Breyer is writing Benisek, in my view. If a "liberal" justice is writing, then Roberts or Kennedy would have assigned the opinion to them. Breyer and Kagan have most often written for the Court in gerrymandering cases, and her opinion today makes it unlikely she has another majority from March.

I'm going to get to work on my coverage of Husted and Sveen v. Melin. Hopefully others will be able to stick around and answer questions. I am also waiting for reporters to come down from the courtroom to fill us in on what was said, if anything, about possible decision days later this week. Thanks for joining us, and we will see you soon!
