UPDATE: The Supreme Court has requested a response to this application by 4 p.m. on Thursday, March 4. #SCOTUS
The last time #SCOTUS addressed a Temporary Protected Status recission was in an October emergency ruling related to protections for Venezuelans. A 6-3 court granted the administration's requested relief. www.law360.com/articles/239...
U.S. District Judge Katherine Polk Failla, an Obama appointee, said the administration's bid to end Temporary Protected Status for Syrians "confounds logic" when she barred the move in November. The Second Circuit refused to step in earlier this month. www.law360.com/articles/244...
JUST IN: The Trump administration asks the Supreme Court to lift a New York judge's order pausing the administration's effort to end temporary removal protection and work authoritzations for 6,000+ Syrians who fled due to armed conflict. #SCOTUS www.documentcloud.org/documents/27...
This allows a forced labor lawsuit brought by immigrant detainees against an ICE detention facility operator to move forward, for now. The detainees claim GEO Group Inc. forced some to work under the threat of solitary confinement and underpaid others. www.law360.com/articles/234...
BREAKING: A 9-0 Supreme Court rules an order denying a government contractor derivative sovereign immunity *is not* immediately appealable, finding appellate review of the decision must wait until the completion of lower court proceedings. #SCOTUS www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
BREAKING: A 9-0 Supreme Court says courts *can* limit what criminal defendants discuss with their attorneys during overnight trial breaks, finding bans on discussing a defendant’s ongoing testimony don’t violate the 6th Amendment. #SCOTUS www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
BREAKING: The Supreme Court has agreed to hear arguments next term in a case that will determine whether state and local governments can hold fossil fuel companies liable in state court for climate change. #SCOTUS
Here’s a list of IEEPA tariffs, compiled by the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service.
Full report here: www.congress.gov/crs-product/...
The tariffs at the center of today’s ruling are the global reciprocal ones against countries the U.S. has trade deficits with and ones against Canada, China and Mexico aimed at curbing the flow of fentanyl into the country. But other IEEPA tariffs will be affected.
#SCOTUS Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Brett Kavanaugh dissent. Justice Kavanaugh had the main dissent, which argues tariffs are a “traditional tool” that presidents have the authority to impose to regulate importation.

BREAKING: A 6-3 Supreme Court STRIKES DOWN President Donald Trump’s emergency tariffs, finding the International Emergency Economic Powers Act *doesn’t* authorize the president to issue them. #SCOTUS

*Chief Justice Roberts also has invidivual stocks.
Justice Samuel Alito seems to be the only current justice with individual stocks. Every other justice invests in funds. Alito recentely recused just days before oral arguments in an environmental case after a party not originally listed as involved in the case was disclosed. #SCOTUS
NEW: The Supreme Court will begin requiring litigants in March to list the stock ticker for each party involved in a case to make it easier to check if a justice has a conflict of interest that might require recusal. #SCOTUS
Here are the changes: www.supremecourt.gov/filingandrul...
The project, On the Docket, has created cartoonized videos of #SCOTUS Justice Roberts' opinion and Justice Sotomayor's dissent in Trump v. U.S., but has plans to bring CASA and the affirmative action ones "to life" too.
I'm curious: what do you all think of this?

And last term (2024, which included the summer) was actually much busier on the emergency, shadow, docket than this term has been so far. This is the current accounting:
I thought that would be a big factor too when I first noticed this, but, as I explain in the linked article, expert court watchers don't think the emergency, or shadow, docket played that much of a role in the case load this term. This is part of a much bigger trend. www.law360.com/articles/243...
This graph isn't update with today's information, but it shows the decline in the Supreme Court's caseload over the years. The last time the court heard arguments in less than 62 cases was in 1864. #SCOTUS heard 64 cases in 1865 and it shot up from there.
With today's release of #SCOTUS's April argument lineup, the court has officially agreed to hear *62* cases this term, the fewest since the Civil War. The court extended deadlines in an Intel Corp. retirement benefits case, bumping arguments to next term. www.law360.com/articles/243...
This appears to be a pretty rare statement from a justice about the status of a case pending before #SCOTUS ...
#SCOTUS Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson also discussed the tariffs decision. "It takes a while to write," she said.
"The court is going through its process of deliberation and, you know, the American people expect for us to be thorough and clear in our determinations and sometimes that takes time."
I guess the court figured there was no need for further explanation in today's ruling ...
#SCOTUS Justice Samuel Alito, who was joined by Justice Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch, also seemed to broadcast his view on both cases in a concurrence he wrote in the Texas case:
This follows the court's decision two months ago to allow Texas to use its redrawn congressional map in this year's midterm elections. In the Texas case, the court specifically referred to California in explaining its decision. www.law360.com/articles/241...
BREAKING: The Supreme Court ALLOWS California to use a new, voter-approved congressional map in this year’s midterm elections. The map was drawn to give Democrats enough new U.S. House seats to offset Republican gains in Texas. #SCOTUS
A staggering statement from former Washington Post editor Marty Baron: "This ranks among the darkest days in the history of one of the world's greatest news organizations."
The justices have likely grown accustomed to smaller caseloads and are pickier than past courts in deciding which cases to review, often leaving important but mundane questions of law unanswered while opting to tackle hot-button issues, court watchers say. www.law360.com/articles/243...
