#SCOTUS, 5-4, has rejected challenges to President Trump's revised travel ban.
supremecourt.gov/opinions/17pdf…
Along the way, #SCOTUS appears to overrule Korematsu, the decision that upheld the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. "Korematsu was gravely wrong the day it was decided."
Justice Kennedy writes separately: "An anxious world must know that our Government remains committed always to the liberties the Constitution seeks to preserve and protect, so that freedom extends outward, and lasts."
Justice Thomas writes separately to point out his displeasure with nationwide injunctions, which he suggests are ripe for challenge.

Speaking of drugs: Since the Trump administration ordered prosecutors to focus on minor immigration crimes, DOJ has been bringing fewer cases against border drug traffickers than at any point in more than a decade. Here's DOJ's data, through November.
Here's our coverage from a couple months ago. The trend hasn't changed. usatoday.com/story/news/inv…
(Yes that's an Excel chart, and yes we'd normally have December data by now, but that might not be one of those essential government functions.)

There's now a not-quite-so-secret D.C. Cir. opinion in the mystery Mueller grand jury case.
Whoever the mystery company is, it's been ordered to pay $50,000 a day in fines until it complies with the grand jury subpoena. But the accrual is stayed while appeals are pending.
Whatever the mystery company is, it's conducting "general commercial activity in the U.S."

Lawyers for one of the Russian companies charged over election meddling continue to file peevish things in court, this time about how unhappy the judge seemed to be about previous peevish filings ->
The lawyers say they've been getting threats ever since the judge faulted them for unprofessional behavior. Some were "whipped into their frenzy by a cable television entertainer unknown to undersigned counsel named Rachel @Maddow."
Here's the filing -> documentcloud.org/documents/5677…

#SCOTUS, Jan. 8, 2019. With most of the sights in DC shut down, the Supreme Court is drawing a big crowd even for relatively low-profile cases.
It's a one-box Tuesday here at #SCOTUS, meaning one or two decisions in argued cases should be coming at 10a.
The first decision is Justice Kavanaugh's first majority opinion, in Henry Schein, Inc. v Archer & White Sales, Inc., vacating the 5th Circuit in an arbitration case. The decision was unanimous. #SCOTUS

#SCOTUS, Dec. 10, 2018. Orders at 9:30a, with opinions in one or more argued cases expected at 10a.
#SCOTUS grants one new case this morning: Kisor v. Wilkie (18-15), limited to question 1: "Whether the Court should overrule Auer and
Seminole Rock." (This could be big.)

#SCOTUS, Nov. 27, 2018.
It's a one-box day at #SCOTUS. Opinion(s) coming in moments.
First — and only — #SCOTUS decision today is from Chief Justice Roberts in Weyerhaeuser v. US Fish and Wildlife Service, vacating and remanding the 5th Circuit. Decision was unanimous, though Kavanaugh did not particpate.

#SCOTUS, Nov. 6, 2018.
Five minutes until a one-box day at #SCOTUS (meaning one or two decisions in argued cases).
The only #SCOTUS decision today is a unanimous one in Mount Lemon Fire District v. Guido. Ginsburg writes, affirming the 9th Circuit. Kavanaugh did not participate.

Coverage of the #SCOTUS's NIFLA decision is likely to focus on abortion rights. That's unfortunate, because it is a groundbreaking case that clarifies what was one of the most important unanswered questions in First Amendment law: whether licensing laws trump the 1st Amendment.
Here's the issue: For the last 80 years or so, the Supreme Court has separated our constitutional rights into two tiers: Those that get close judicial scrutiny, and those that get little or no judicial scrutiny.
Freedom of speech is one of the rights that gets close judicial scrutiny. The right to carry on an occupation is one of the rights that gets almost no judicial scrutiny. This raises a problem: What happens when these rights intersect, and people earn a living buy speaking?

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
