SCOTUS opinions -- Friday June 14, 2024
Scotusblog ^ | 6/14/24 | Amy Howe

Posted on 06/14/2024 6:10:11 AM PDT by CFW

The Supreme Court issues opinions this morning at beginning 10:00 from cases from the October 2023 term.

After yesterday's opinions there are now twenty-seven cases remaining to be decided.

Of note is the Trump vs. U.S. immunity case, the Chevron deference cases(Relentless and Loper Bright), and the Fischer case regarding charges related to the January 6, 2021 protests.

There is also the Cargill case where at issue is whether a bump stock device is a “machinegun” as defined in 26 U.S.C. § 5845(b). Another 2nd Amendment case is U.S. v. Rahimi where the question is whether 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(8), which prohibits the possession of firearms by persons subject to domestic-violence restraining orders, violates the Second Amendment on its face.

Another important case is Moore v. US, a case regarding taxation of unrealized gains.

There is also a couple of First Amendment cases, one Murthy v Missouri regarding government censorship and social media. The issues are whether respondents have Article III standing; (2) whether the government’s challenged conduct transformed private social media companies’ content-moderation decisions into state action and violated respondents’ First Amendment rights; and (3) whether the terms and breadth of the preliminary injunction are proper.

There is also an abortion case, Moyle v. U.S., and a EPA case in Ohio v. Environmental Protection Agency, so there are a lot of cases of importance to conservatives still awaiting decisions from the Court.

You can find a list of all the cases from this term at:

October 2023 term

Another opinion day at SCOTUS! Opinions will be released less than an hour from now. Twenty-seven to go--how many will be released today?

Thus far, it has only been 3 or 4 per opinion day, but with 27 remaining and only 16 days remaining in the month, I'm betting today we will get five. The Court is going to have to pick up the pace!

Dang! Just dang! I told my hubby I’d probably made a major typo in the post and someone would be quick to point it out. LOL! It never fails!

My only excuse is now that I’ve retired, I have a hard time keeping up with the days or dates.

“didn’t they add due to heavy caseload?”


Yes. Originally, there was only one opinion day on this week’s court calendar (yesterday) and then on Monday they added another one for today. By the end of the day, or maybe on Monday morning, we will know which days they will issue opinions next week. They will probably have two days (possibly three) next week as well.

We have the first opinion!

We have the first opinion. It is Office of the US Trustee v. JohnQ Hammons Fall 2006. It is by Justice Jackson.

The 10th Circuit is reversed.

The Hammons case was about the remedy for the constitutional violation that the court found two terms ago in another case, Siegel v. Fitzgerald. The court held that the a statute violated the Bankruptcy Code because it allowed different fees for Ch 11 debtors depending on where they filed their cases. The remedy, the court holds today, is parity going forward, rather than a refund for past fees.

Next up is Alito with Campos-Chaves v. Garland. It is 5-4.

Issue(s): Whether the government provides notice “required under” and “in accordance with paragraph (1) or (2) of” 8 U.S.C. § 1229(a) when it serves an initial notice document that does not include the “time and place” of proceedings followed by an additional document containing that information, such that an immigration court must enter a removal order in absentia and deny a noncitizen’s request to rescind that order.

https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/22-674_bq7d.pdf

The court holds that the non-citizens in this case received adequate notice of the removal hearings that they missed and at which they were ordered removed, so that they can’t seek rescission of their removal orders (issued in their absence) on the basis of defective notice.

Why the drama of only a few each day? It’s not like this stuff wasn’t written weeks ago. Are they really there like college kids puling an all nighter, typing opinions each night?

We have the third and final ruling of the day, in Garland v. Cargill, the bumpstock case. It is by Justice Thomas, and the vote is 6-3. Sotomayor dissents, joined by Kagan and Jackson.

https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/22-976_e29g.pdf

The question in this case is whether a bumpstock (an accessory for a semi-automatic rifle that allows the shooter to rapidly reengage the trigger to fire very quickly) converts the rifle into a machinegun. The court holds that it does not.

Great pro-2nd Amendment ruling on bumpstocks and also on deporting illegal aliens!

The pricks. The most important case of all is Trump’s, and nothing. But maybe that’s a good sign. Maybe they will say he is immune and they want to put that out last so they can flee to Malta...

It’s a great sign that the immunity decision wasn’t released on President Trump’s birthday ;-)
It could only mean it a huge win for him, and for our country.
