So so so insane

I’ve never seen so many flyovers at once. That was insane

7 hours?!?!? www.wusa9.com/article/life...

With Fed independence on the line, Supreme Court left no room for questions www.courthousenews.com/with-fed-ind...

If SCOTUS live-streamed the opinion announcements there would probably be less confusion over retirement announcements 🤷‍♀️

One day after Thomas was spotted in the Capitol, Kagan is caught walking the halls. What is happening?

Alito could settle all of this by just telling us whether he intends to retire this year or not

Just so we're clear, only 5 justices upheld citizenship rights for all born on U.S. soil under the 14th Amendment Kavanaugh's concurrence only applied to the federal statute www.courthousenews.com/supreme-cour...

I can say (with some experience) that every media outlet has pre-writes ready for major #SCOTUS news—rulings; retirements; deaths. The *existence* of an Alito retirement story isn't proof of anything other than due diligence, one way or the other (up until it accidentally got published, anyway).

Two of Trump's three SCOTUS appointees ruled today that his EO on birthright citizenship is perfectly consistent with the 14th amendment. If he had picked, say, Ho or Oldham to replace RBG—rather than Barrett—we would have a different constitution today.

Yay we’re done…. Hopefully

Thomas' dissent dwarfed the majority opinion upholding birthright citizenship Roberts' majority was 26 pages. Thomas' dissent was 91 pages www.courthousenews.com/supreme-cour...

The only reason I can come up with for why the court released Slaughter & Cook simultaneously was that they didn’t want questions about Fed independence for even ~20 min while the Slaughter opinion and dissent were read

More fun tomorrow

There's no sugar-coating Slaughter. It's an enormously important ruling (far more important than the other three decisions #SCOTUS handed down today). It's a huge win for Trump/the executive. And it's going to have massive ramifications for the functioning of the government long after Trump is gone.

Thomas calls out his colleagues for endorsing a contradiction by allowing Trump to fire independent agency members in Slaughter but barring him from removing Fed Board members in Cook www.courthousenews.com/supreme-cour...

The Supreme Court's impending birthright citizenship ruling is colliding with the nation's 250th anniversary AND the world cup @benjaminweiss.bsky.social with how GOP lawmakers are squaring Trump's policy with support for the U.S. men's national team courthousenews.com/republicans-...

I know this is not the biggest concern going these days, but it stresses me out that basically every artist/writer/critic is now expected to create their own tiny empire instead of getting paid by any existing entity to perform a job they've worked to get good at!!!!

Alito’s retort to Sotomayor’s bench statement in Al Otro Lado very unusual. Will it be included in the opinion audio the court releases in October? Guess we’ll all have to wait to find out

In a highly unusual move, Alito added commentary after Sotomayor read her dissent in Mullin v. Al Otro Lado He said there "was much he would have added" if he had known Sotomayor was going to read her dissent from the bench www.courthousenews.com/supreme-cour...

Average Wednesday evening in D.C. these days

Totally casual

I'm stuck on how the court looking at birthright citizenship as "originalists" squares with considering the right under "new circumstances" as Johnson describes here
