The Supreme Court on Tuesday issued decisions in three of the 10 as-yet-undecided cases. Here is a list of the seven as-yet-undecided cases, along with (when possible) discussion of who may be writing which opinion.
1. Students for Fair Admissions v. University of North Carolina (argued Oct. 31, 2022): Students for Fair Admissions, the group bringing the lawsuit, contends that UNC violates the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause, which bars racial discrimination.
2. Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard College (argued Oct. 31, 2022): This is a lawsuit brought by Students for Fair Admissions, the same group that filed the lawsuit against UNC, alleging that Harvard violates Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.
3. 303 Creative v. Elenis (argued Dec. 5, 2022): In this case, the justices are grappling with the tension between legal protections for LGBTQ people and the rights of business owners who are opposed to same-sex marriage.
4. Biden v. Nebraska (argued Feb. 28, 2023): One of two challenges to the Biden administration’s student-debt relief plan, this case was filed by six states with Republican attorneys general.
5. Department of Education v. Brown (argued Feb. 28, 2023): The second challenge to the debt relief program comes from two individual student-loan borrowers.
6 Abitron Austria GmbH v. Hetronic Int’l (argued Mar. 21, 2023): Under the Lanham Act, an individual who “uses in commerce” a trademark that she does not own in a manner that is likely to cause consumer confusion can face civil liability.
7. Groff v. DeJoy (argued April 18, 2023): In the case of an evangelical Christian who declined to work as a postal carrier on Sundays, the justices are considering how far employers must go to accommodate the religious practices of their employers.

Guess which single one is being covered everywhere by the Legacy Media this morning.
” In the case of an evangelical Christian who declined to work as a postal carrier on Sundays, the justices are considering how far employers must go to accommodate the religious practices of their employers.”
If they decide in favor of the postal carrier, does that mean that Muslim postal workers can get Fridays off?
I just got a broadcast text mssg soliciting donation to help prevent kavenaugh from resigning?
Anybody seeing anything like this?
Any truth to it?
depends on his contract and/or if he told them PRIOR to being hired. Has he ever had any job where he worked on Sunday.
i believe already noted as not true.....
All good ones, looking forward to the decisions.
"The case involves Harvard University's undergraduate admissions process which is claimed to discriminate against Asian American applicants."
Asian Americans vote ≈ 63-65% for Democrats.
If they continue to support Democrats, this is what they're going to continue to get: Discrimination against their own children.
The court holds that Harvard and UNC’s admissions programs violate the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment.
Sotomayor dissents, joined by Kagan and Jackson as it applies to the Harvard case. Jackson dissents in the UNC case, joined by SOtomayor and Kagan.
Decisions in: Groff v. DeJoy, Abitron Austria GmbH v. Hetronic Int’l, Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard College, and Students for Fair Admissions v. University of North Carolina.
First two opinions:

Now they have to find new ways to discriminate, which I’m sure they already had ready to implement.
Since this USSC still hasn’t been able to find the “ LEAKER OF THE RULING ON ABORTION” I don’t have any confidence that they will make any ruling in favor of the American people.
A lot of interesting cases, but the 303 Creative vs. Elenis case will have major implications.
Its not just days, its times of the day and how many.
Theres a plant Im aware of that hired a bunch of Durka Durka. Next thing you know a far too large percentage of employees are wandering off the production floor multiple times because its time to pray.
If they get special breaks then what are you going to do when I start demanding multiple extras for whatever reason at which I arrive are necessary?
At what point are there more people “on duty” dorking around on special personal time than there are people actually doing the job. Not everyone belongs to a union.
How long does it take for the plant to close up and move overseas?
I’m getting this an similar messages about Thomas & Barrett.
Fundraising gimmic and Very annoying.
“I just got a broadcast text mssg soliciting donation to help prevent kavenaugh from resigning?”
____
Not a scintilla of truth to it so I would ignore any such solicitations.
Re: #7. If the plaintiff was an employee BEFORE the Sunday delivery policy (this is most likely because of the Sunday Amazon Prime delivery agreement the USPS entered into with Amazon) I’d say he/she has a case. Otherwise, if employment was after the policy was entered into then they should have used their ‘right’ to not take the job.
