-
And, of course, it is Lyle Denniston's last opinions day.
-
Might the Court just affirm 4-4 in Hernandez? Government won in CA5.
-
Lyle has been such a godsend over the years. Thank you sir
-
Will we see action on Masterpiece and Peruta today?
-
Lyle is such a great asset to those of us who follow SCOTUS workings.
-
Well the Twiatter verse will explode if ANYone announces retirement
-
The court has denied review in Peruta, over a dissent from Thomas and Gorsuch.
-
There is a summary reversal in Pavan v. Smith, the case of two same-sex couples who wanted to have both parents' names on their children's birth certificates.
-
Justice Gorsuch dissents from the summary reversal in Pavan v. Smith, joined by Thomas and Alito.
-
There is a grant/vacate/remand in Hicks v. United States.
-
First and only post-- I'm having a hard time finding info online: Is gorsuch able to rule on travel ban at this time? or will it be an 8 justice decision?
-
Cert denied in Binderup, with Ginsburg and Sotomayor dissenting to denial of cert
-
Here is a link to today's complete order list: www.supremecourt.gov
-
We have four CVSGs: Sokolow v. Palestine Liberation Organization; Samsung v. Apple;; Brewer v. Arizona Dream Act Coalition, and Animal Science Products v. Hebei Welcome.
-
Sessions v. Binderup's denied over dissent of Ginsburg and Sotomayor
-
Grant in Masterpiece after all this time is a bit surprising, right?
-
Okay, now that the fray has settled a little bit, here is a summary of what has happened so far today.
-
The justices issued orders from last week's conference, which were released this morning at 930 am.
-
The question in Peruta was whether the Second Amendment protects the right to carry firearms in public for self-defense. The denial truthfully didn't come as much of a surprise to me, because the court had turned down earlier petitions presenting the same question in years past.
-
If a Justice were to announce his/her retirement is this the only day that it would be announced? Or is this considered the traditional day of announcing and could be announced later?
-
We currently have over 7500 readers -- thanks for joining us!
-
Do we know if Justice Kennedy hired clerks for next year?
-
If the Justice Kennedy retirement announcements are reliable today, when would he do that? After the 10 AM opinions?
-
Hi All. It's good to be back on the live blog. I've missed you.
-
If Justice Kennedy is not retiring, what might be the reason for a 9 yr. reunion instead of 10 for his clerks?
-
Interesting to see Chief Justice Roberts, an Obergefell dissenter two years ago, join today's Obergefell-reiterating per curiam opinion in Pavan.
-
AMK's reunion was a year earlier in order to celebrate his 80th birthday (at least, that's the party line!)
-
What is the actual procedure for handing down opinions? Is it done orally? Does the court sit in session and read the opinions? Thank you.
-
I'm going to get in line for opinions. I will be back very soon!
-
the dissent of Peruta is listed at the very end of today's order list. the link was provided on this comment blog earlier this morning.
-
Amy's name isn't listed on SCOTUS website for hard passes. How does she get daily access?
-
A little odd that Amy implies that those 5 justices are bad for inmates. That is the kind of not legitimate reporting that is becoming all too common since last year. Keep your biased opinions to yourself.
I'm sure this will be censored. -
Davila follows on two previous cases (Martinez and Trevino) in which a five-four majority (Kennedy plus the liberal justices) sided with the inmates on reviving defaulted claims of ineffective assistance of TRIAL counsel. Kennedy seems to have jumped off the train for ineffective assistance of APPELLATE counsel. That will, essentially, bring this line of case law to an end.
-
The class-action lawsuit was filed within the statute of limitations, but the question was whether the separate lawsuit was also timely.
-
Idk. I'm a conservative, but Amy is correct in her perception of those justices being less sympathetic to convicts. It is what it is
