Here we go. SCOTUS time.
Justice Thomas, writing for a 5-4 conservative majority, overturns a California law regulating anti-choice "crisis pregancy centers." supremecourt.gov/opinions/17pdf…
Gorsuch has been the swing vote in a LOT of big cases this month. McConnell's repugnant gamble—and Trump's nominating choice—are paying off huge for the GOP. Huge.
Five conservative men voted to overturn a state regulation of deceptive "crisis pregnancy centers." Three women and Justice Breyer stood in dissent.
Likely one more decision today, which'll mean two left for the next and presumably final session. (Which I think is already scheduled for tomorrow.)
Travel ban. Roberts writing for a 5-4 conservative majority. supremecourt.gov/opinions/17pdf…
In the course of ruling for Trump on the travel ban, Justice Roberts overturned Korematsu. What a weird day. What a weird life. 
"The United States is a Nation built upon the promise of religious liberty. Our Founders honored that core promise by embedding the principle of religious neutrality in the First Amendment. The Court’s decision today fails to safeguard that fundamental principle." —Sotomayor
"The Court’s decision today…leaves undisturbed a policy first advertised openly and unequivocally as a 'total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States' because the policy now masquerades behind a façade of national-security concerns." —Sotomayor
"President Trump has never disavowed any of his prior statements about Islam. Instead, he has continued to make remarks that a reasonable observer would view as an unrelenting attack on the Muslim religion and its followers." —Sotomayor
Sotomayor notes the contradiction between the Court's reasoning in Masterpiece Cakeshop and its ruling today.
"Our Constitution demands, and our country deserves, a Judiciary willing to hold the coordinate branches to account when they defy our most sacred legal commitments. Because the Court’s decision today has failed in that respect, with profound regret, I dissent." —Sotomayor
