It's now past 5:30p on Monday, and we still have heard nothing from #SCOTUS on the Trump administration's request to stop the ordered depositions of Commerce Sec. Ross and DOJ's Gore in the Census citizenship question case. Filings regarding the request:
And, #SCOTUS also has to figure out what it's going to do with the kids' climate change case. Filings on that request here:
More broadly, though, it all comes back to this — buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisg… — and these two stay requests are two of the first times we're really going to see what the new court does outside of oral arguments.

BREAKING: Supreme Court denies the foreign country-owned company's request to stay a contempt order resulting from its refusal to comply with a grand jury's subpoena. Chief Justice Roberts' "administrative stay" is vacated, so the result is the contempt order is back in effect.
That order of the court follows this request, made Monday but put on the docket today, to file a cert petition in the case under seal. Not clear what will happen with that now, but the contempt order (and associated fines) will now be back in place.
REDACTED DOCUMENT: Here's the redacted motion at SCOTUS, noted previously, of what appears to be the foreign-owned company seeking to file its petition for certiorari in the grand jury dispute under seal. documentcloud.org/documents/5677…

In the wake of yesterday's contentious hearing involving Concord in the Russian troll farm case, Concord's lawyers are STILL AT IT, in a new filing that could be one sentence and instead is four pages: documentcloud.org/documents/5677…
Here's @ZoeTillman on yesterday's hearing: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Concord's lawyers say that Judge Dabney Friedrich created "at a minimum an appearance of bias or prejudice in favor of the government" yesterday.

#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

#Trump's last campaign rally of the 2018 mid-term election season is scheduled to start in about ten minutes. It's his THIRD rally of the day. Dude is likely exhausted and I doubt this rally will be less "speech" and more "incoherent tirade".
At any rate, here's the thread for it! Follow/mute at will!
Current Pre-show music is the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil." I couldn't make this up if I tried.

DOJ says #SCOTUS shouldn't overturn its "dual sovereignty" cases, which say it's not a double-jeopardy violation for the state and federal governments to separately prosecute someone for the same crime.
(This case had been the source of an, err, theory about this case expanding the president's pardon power to also cover some state crimes, and although that never made a ton of sense, note that the Trump administration is taking the opposite position in court.)
Here's the brief from @big_cases ->

NEWS: #SCOTUS greenlights nearly all discovery in @NewYorkStateAG & co's #2020Census case, except for Sec. Ross deposition which remains on hold pending further briefing (despite an inaccurate AP story that he “can’t be questioned,” period).
DOJ just filed another motion with the district court to stay @NewYorkStateAG’s #2020Census case ahead of our Nov 5 trial. That’s right - after asking #SCOTUS to stay discovery and losing, they’re trying again with the district court. Seriously.
In our latest filing with the district court, @NewYorkStateAG notes that FOURTEEN judges have thus far rejected DOJ’s efforts to halt her #Census2020 suit.

"Trump has used Harley-Davidson as an example of a US business that is being harmed by trade barriers. Yet Harley has warned consistently against tariffs, saying they would negatively impact sales"

Harley, hit by tariffs, shifts some production overseas apnews.com/6c8942f7363743…
Important issue highlighted by @riotwomennn: are tariff exemptions determined by bribes?

Corker: "22,000 companies have asked for exemptions.There is no basis to deal with them. Are they going to grant these exclusions based on political contributions?"
Trump’s trade war with the European Union is going to cost Harley-Davidson as much as $100 million a year and force the manufacturer to shift production out of the U.S. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

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
