Posted on 06/26/2024 6:29:24 AM PDT by CFW

The Supreme Court of the United States will be issuing Opinions today beginning at 10:00 a.m. Attorneys with scotusblog will be live-blogging from the press room and I will be posting the Opinions of the Court here.

A list of all the cases from the October 2023 cases is listed here: October 2023 term. A short descriptive of the issue(s) before the court is included. If the case has already been decided that fact is indicated as well.

Exactly, it wasn’t a decision based on merit, but standing. What seems odd is the amount of time to decide something so pedestrian. CFW thinks some late jawboning was involved.

Payback is a bitch. When Trump takes office, we will use the FBI and DOJ and give the left a taste of their own medicine. We’ll see how much they like censorship when they end up on the business end of it.

Even by the comments here, I guess the issue wasn't so pedestrian after all.

So we see more typical Roberts Court thinking. The case is not totally evaporated; they just didn’t tie their left shoestring first and then their right shoestring second.

Come see us again when you tie your right shoestring first.

congress needs to pass a law that citizens ALWAYS have standing to sue the government when the government has abused power and subverted the civil rights of any citizen.

All three of Trump's appointments are shaping up to be real duds. Kavanaugh was a known commodity: a midwit hack. A reliable vote for the favored few. But, at the same time, those types always end up being "statists" in the end, when individual liberty is at stake. Always.

...And what does that say about the Heritage Foundation, who supposedly pre-picked these three?!?

Yeah, Tracy Beanz is pretty good. I’ve followed her commentary on the case for the past couple of years.

That’s what I commented up-thread. That it is only about an injunction on future actions and the Court ruled they had no standing for a temporary injunction. I’m still reading through the ruling.

My computer had the audacity to just shut down when I was about at page 15 (of 66) of the opinion, so I took it as a sign to step and away and lay off the coffee for a while.

Are we done hearing any more opinions today or is it an open window until 5p Eastern i.e., for more to be issued? Any thoughts or insight here on the forum? Thanks.

Done for the day. On opinion day, they start releasing opinions at 10. It’s usually over by 11:00 or so (on a normal day), but seldom lasts over 2 hours.

More opinions to be released tomorrow at 10:00. I’ll start a new thread tomorrow around 9:30 a.m.

Easy fix, don't pick anyone who got their law degree from an Ivy League Indoctrination Center™.

Bloomberg has a scoop!

The US Supreme Court is poised to allow abortions in medical emergencies in Idaho, according to a copy of the opinion that was briefly posted on the court’s website.

The decision would reinstate a lower court order that had ensured hospitals in the state could perform emergency abortions to protect the health of the mother. The briefly posted version indicated the majority will dismiss the case as “improvidently granted.”

Bloomberg Law obtained a copy of the opinion that appeared briefly on the court’s website as the justices were issuing two other opinions Wednesday morning. The copy of the opinion isn’t necessarily the final ruling, given that it hasn’t been released.

The Supreme Court’s press office didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on this inadvertent release.

This morning I was clicking reload as the opinions were coming down, but I missed this. The link must have been there momentarily.

This is a huge error on the Court’s part. For all of the post-Dobbs security measures, this was a self-own. They usually hold all of the DIGs for the last day of the term, but this one came prematurely.

The Court’s order from January stated:

The stay shall terminate upon the sending down of the judgment of this Court. VIDED.

Is a cert denial akin to “sending down” a judgment?

In any event, a DIG here is another victory for the Biden Administration.


This is the case of Moyle v. U.S. which is one of the remaining opinions we are waiting for.

Moyle v. U.S., No. 23-726 [Arg: 4.24.2024]

Issue(s): Whether the Supreme Court should stay the order by the U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho enjoining the enforcement of Idaho’s Defense of Life Act, which prohibits abortions unless necessary to save the life of the mother, on the ground that the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act preempts it.

There is an important footnote in the Murthy opinion.

Because we do not reach the merits, we express no view as to whether the Fifth Circuit correctly articulated the standard for when the Government transforms private conduct into state action.

6-3 decision with Gorsuch, Thomas and Alito in dissent.
