NEW: The US Supreme Court is fueling criticism that it’s treating presidential administrations differently and acting as a partisan partner of Donald Trump in continuing to greenlight his policies without any explanation. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

The Fourth Circuit had the second-highest number of its rulings reviewed by the Supreme Court and they reversed every one. The data suggests attorneys have been testing the waters to see if the liberal-leaning court could counterbalance the conservative Fifth Circuit.

Good morning from the Supreme Court on the last day of the term. We’re expected to get 6 rulings starting at 10 on Obamacare preventive services, religious opt outs to LGBTQ-themed books in elementary school, and Trump’s birthright citizenship restrictions.

We've got 6 decisions coming from the Supreme Court tomorrow, which is the last day of the term. They involve Trump's efforts to restrict birthright citizenship, an age verification law for porn sites in Texas, and Obamacare's no-cost coverage of preventive health services. Today's big ruling:

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson called textualism “incessantly malleable” and accused her colleagues of giving the perception that the Supreme Court favors moneyed interests over ordinary citizens in two pointed dissents issued Friday.

Good morning from a Supreme Court that’s getting a face lift. More opinions are coming at 10. We’re waiting for rulings on religious opt outs for LGBT books in school, enforcement of Trump’s birthright citizenship restrictions and Obamacare coverage for certain preventive health services.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson reported making over $2 million off her memoir last year, according to her financial disclosure released Tuesday. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

Have a tip related to the Supreme Court, its cases or the parties involved? Do you know about something happening with its staff, security or operations? Share it with me privately on Signal.

The Supreme Court agreed to hear several cases corporate America brought seeking to rein in class actions this term only to later say they shouldn’t have taken the appeals. It’s an emerging and potentially worrisome pattern. @kimberlyrobinsn.bsky.social and I report on why.

We'll get Supreme Court opinions starting at 10 am. The justices have 33 cases left to decide.

Conservative justices all but invited additional gun rights cases and advocates will soon have multiple chances to try again for a constitutional right to own an AR-15.

Supreme Court rejects two major gun cases, leaving in place a Maryland ban on so-called assault weapons and a Rhode Island ban on high-capacity magazines.

Trump’s angry at judges he nominated even as his policies are faring better with his appointees. The wins don’t appear to be enough for Trump, who attacked the adviser he relied on to fill vacancies. The move risks alienating the conservative legal movement that helped elect him in 2016.

President Trump slammed the Federalist Society and it's former leader on Truth Social, calling Leonard Leo a "sleazebag." news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

The Supreme Court reined in environmental impact studies and in doing so told courts they have to defer to agencies. But the justices weren't limiting their decision last term in Loper Bright. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

Only one decision from the Supreme Court: Seven County Infrastructure v. Eagle County, Colorado. Court reversed DC Circuit decision 8-0. Gorsuch recused. Case deals with an environmental impact statement for railroad line construction.

Good morning from the Supreme Court where we'll get opinions starting at 10 am ET. You can find those posted here: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/sli...

BREAKING: Supreme Court splits evenly major church-state case, thwarting an effort in Oklahoma to create the nation’s first faith-based charter school. 4-4 split doesn’t set a nationwide precedent.

The Trump administration has asked the Supreme Court to halt a lower court ruling that forces it to answer questions and turn over documents about Elon Musk's DOGE. Solicitor General John Sauer argues DOGE is a "presidential advisory body" that's not subject to the Freedom of Information Act.

A federal district court judge in California has already cited the Supreme Court's language in granting temporary relief in a class action. www.bloomberglaw.com/public/docum... Story updated to reflect ruling.

Tucked into the Supreme Court’s decision blocking President Donald Trump from sending additional Venezuelans to a Salvadoran prison is subtle but significant language that could provide broad relief from other administration policies even if the justices limit the use of nationwide injunctions.

The Supreme Court just extended its order that blocked the Trump administration from deporting more Venezuelans to a notorious prison in El Salvador. Justices Alito and Thomas dissent.

“The sources that the executive branch are citing are radical, fringe views,” Elora Mukherjee of Columbia Law School tells @lydiawheeler.bsky.social. “They are not accurate, thorough, complete understandings of the Fourteenth Amendment.” news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

The Supreme Court isn't scheduled to issue opinions until May 15, which is the same day as arguments on Trump's emergency requests to partially enforce his birthright citizenship order.

No new cases granted this morning. Here's the Supreme Court's full order list. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

The Trump administration asked the US Supreme Court to let Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency have access to sensitive Social Security information, escalating a privacy fight that could affect millions of people.

New episode of "Cases and Controversies" out now. @kimberlyrobinsn.bsky.social and I talk about an uncomfortable exchange in court this week and why we think Chief Justice John Roberts is likely to be the pivotal vote in a bid to create the nation's first religious charter school.

Quite the scene at the Washington Hilton tonight where protesters stormed a ballroom while Charles Koch was accepting an award from the Cato Institute. Several got onto the edge of the stage while Koch was speaking.

Justice Alito still seems bothered by the inclusion of LGBTQ+ themed books in a Maryland elementary school. Though it’s been over a week since the US Supreme Court heard that fight, Alito referenced the case during Wednesday’s arguments over a religious charter school.

Good morning from the Supreme Court where the justices will consider if states must include religious schools in their taxpayer-funded charter school programs. The case could create the nation’s first religious public school.

Only opinion out of the Supreme Court today in a technical case over how federal hospital reimbursements are calculated for hospitals that treat a disproportionate share of low-income patients. Opinion: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Lot of chatter going on about today's unusually hostile Supreme Court arguments involving attorney Lisa Blatt. I wrote about Blatt's casual candor and direct argument style last year when she became the first woman to hit 50 arguments at the court.

Obamacare is back at the Supreme Court in a challenge to its no-cost coverage requirements for certain preventive health care. GW professor emerita Sara Rosenbaum explains why the case is more about power than public health on this week's episode of "Cases and Controversies." Listen here:

Lots of confusion out there about what Scotus will consider on birthright citizenship. It's actually pretty clear: They are NOT ruling on the legality of Trump's EO, though the subject will surely come up and the decision will determine whether the restrictions go into partial effect right away. 1/3

Supreme Court announces it will hear arguments on May 15 over Trump's requests to partially enforce his executive order that seeks to restrict automatic birthright citizenship.

The Trump administration is defying court orders and there isn’t much the Supreme Court can do to stop it. Trump's willingness to skirt court orders is illustrating just how little power the federal judiciary has to enforce its decisions.

The Supreme Court announces Thursday will be an opinion day.

President Donald Trump is heralding victories from the Supreme Court that legal experts say are short-term, procedural, and incremental wins at best in his effort to unilaterally advance immigration and federal spending priorities. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...
