Monday's grants of certiorari "before judgment" in the TPS cases were the 25th and 26th since 2/2019—after #SCOTUS hadn't done it once in the prior 15 years. Today's "One First" looks at why this shift is happening—and why, although it's preferable to unexplained stays, it still has lots of costs:

Ahead of a crucial hearing in Anthropic's legal standoff with the Pentagon, outside groups filed briefs largely rebuking the Trump administration's effort to restrict government use of the company's products. Here's a breakdown of what legal experts and advocates had to say.

Today's #SCOTUS Order List includes a 6-3 summary reversal, in which the Republican appointees all vote, contra the Second Circuit, that qualifed immunity insulates a police officer from damages for using a rear wristlock against a nonviolent protestor. The Democratic appointees all dissent:

This is really scary. There is no serious argument that Congress somehow invalidated the laws of 29 states when it passed a law setting election day 152 years ago, and it's just that no one noticed. But it seems that's where the conservatives on the Court are headed www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

Prediction markets are offering sports bets — just with a different name. They are being offered in states where sports betting is illegal, like California, while federal regulators are greenlighting them rather than enforcing the law.

The Supreme Court refuses to review the 5th Circuit's extremely dubious ruling against Rodney Reed's request for a DNA test, which could prove the death row inmate's innocence. (There is a very good chance he is innocent!) All three liberals dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

The Supreme Court refuses to review an odious 5th Circuit decision granting qualified immunity to Texas officials who arrested a citizens-journalist in retaliation against her posing questions to public officials. Sotomayor has an appropriately furious dissent: www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

Today’s new rule is that mandamus is not the way to fix all the screw-ups you made in the trial court. Nor is it an effective way to force your way into courts of discretionary review. Wouldn’t think that needs to be said. But apparently it must.

This wonderful building is just one reason to visit Trier, a truly wonderful city on the Mosel river. Beautiful, friendly, and full of fascinating history.

Built as part of the imperial complex in Trier after Constantine succeeded his father as tetrarch in 306, the Aula Palatina is one of the best preserved basilicas from antiquity. It was not originally a church but a public and civic space. 📷🇩🇪 flic.kr/p/pM2J3D #photography #architecture #travel

It's a "one box" day at #SCOTUS, which means we expect one or two rulings starting at 10 ET. (This is the sophisticated intelligence gathering done by the reporters in the Court's press room, who can see the boxes from which the hard copies are distributed.)

Happy "corned beef sammie standing at the counter with one hand in a bag of chips" day to all who celebrate.

🚨NEW: The Supreme Court just granted certiorari before judgement in the Trump admin's requests to terminate Temporary Protected Status for Haiti and Syria, "deferring" the request for an emergency stay and setting oral argument for the last week of April.

Guys, this subnautica case is incredible. I’m reading now and will clip here. I know nothing about the issues - all I know about the game is from the opinion. Ok, bigger company buys video game studio, and promises founders a bonus for their new game. /1 courts.delaware.gov/Opinions/Dow...

I am leaving the Washington Post to join a new journalistic venture backed by Politico founder Robert Allbritton that will be both the hometown publication the D.C. region sorely needs and a scrappy and fearless national news organization. I hope you'll join us.

It is *fascinating* to me how quickly some people have gone completely from “we all must work in the office! human collaboration is vital and only happens in person!” to “I can replace all these pesky people with chatbots!” Definitely some commentary there about our society and who gets to choose.

"The TPS cases are critically important not just because they are the epitome of the cruelty behind so much of Trump's approach to immigration, or because what #SCOTUS does with them could immediately affect hundreds of thousands of people, but because they are a referendum on the Court’s own work."

i will also emphasize that there is no question spacex will not give public investors any governance rights (i.e., dual class shares, a shareholder agreement with musk, etc). So the wider public will be forced to fork over their capital with literally no oversight of it

Toe beans.

We sued Live Nation and Ticketmaster to end their illegal monopoly over live music. That fight is not over. DC and a bipartisan group of states refused to join the Department of Justice’s settlement. On Monday, we will return to court and keep fighting for fairness for artists, venues, and fans.

Changes in the way statutes are read have big impacts on practical business decisions. And how that filters down is not very transparent to them.

Suspending the Jones Act is not a strategy, it’s an admission of failure.

Oh, for Pete's sake. The USPTO just "reinterpreted" design patentable subject matter to include disembodied designs.

It's almost like monopoly power creates the ability to raise price. But can we get a court to recognize that the ticket price isn't the only place the monopolist can squeeze, and that these are all interrelated? And that vertical integration - long thought purely efficient - makes this possible?
