#SCOTUS, Jan. 15, 2019.
Opinions in one or more argued cases are expected at 10a.
It's a one-box day, meaning one or two opinions from #SCOTUS.
The first #SCOTUS decision is in New Prime Inc. v. Oliveira. Gorsuch delivered the opinion affirming the 1st Circuit. Ginsburg concurred, and Kavanaugh did not participate.
Here is the decision: supremecourt.gov/opinions/18pdf… / There will be one more decision today.
The final decision is in Stokeling v. US. Thomas has the opinion for the court, affirming the 11th Circuit in a 5-4 decision in which Breyer joins the conservatives and Roberts joins Sotomayor's dissent with the liberals.
Thomas's decision for the court supports the 11th Circuit's more broad definition of "violent felony" under the Armed Career Criminal Act. Sotomayor wrote in dissent that the majority's decision "distorts" the court's 2010 decision limiting the ACCA.
That's it from #SCOTUS today.
