Good morning and welcome to the live blog!
We will be joined this morning by Professor Daniel Hemel from the University of Chicago Law.
Good morning, everyone! Thanks for joining us.
I know that the main event today is opinions at 10 am, but the undercard -- orders at 9:30 -- could be pretty good too. The justices considered the government's petitions in the DACA cases again last week, so they could act on them today.
There is also a trio of cases in a dispute over the government's failure to pay health insurance companies all of the money that it promised to pay them for their losses under the Affordable Care Act.
Hi everyone. Long time, no live blog. Happy to be on and answering questions.
In response to Avery's question: I don't think we have enough opinions out from the April setting yet to make firm predictions about the census case
Roberts, Alito, Kagan, and Gorsuch all have yet to issue an April sitting opinion
Okay, it's time for me to go in to wait for the order list. I'll be back soon with orders. NOT opinions.
We have new grants, but we do not appear to have anything on DACA.
The justices granted review in the trio of cases involving reimbursements under the Affordable Care Act. The cases are consolidated.
The justices granted review in a pair of cases involving equitable tolling of the statutory deadline for a motion to reopen in immigration cases: Guerrero-Lasprilla v. Barr and Ovalles v. Barr.
Dex Media is limited to question one in the petition.
They granted review in Georgia v. PublicResource.org, which was a petition filed by John Elwood of this blog and had an opposition from attorneys for Goldstein & Russell. The issue is whether annotations to the Georgia Code are copyrightable.
The justices also granted review in Banister v. Davis, on whether a timely motion under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 59(e) should be treated as a second or successive habeas petition.
There are two calls for the views of the solicitor general. One is out of Puerto Rico, involving whether a court must defer to how a religious organization has structured itself or can instead deem its various parts one legal entity for liability purposes. The other is Avco Corp. v. Sikkelee.
The solicitor general is also invited to file a brief in an original action, Arizona v. California.
The Court has denied review in lots of cases in which (as I recall) the solicitor general filed briefs recommending denials.
