9th Circuit today ruled against a man facing execution who'd sought to interview jurors. He's one of the first federal inmates set for execution under the new lethal injection protocol announced by AG Barr (the challenges to that are still pending)

Of note here: Two judges wrote concurrences questioning DOJ's decision to seek the death penalty for a crime that occured within Navajo Nation territory when the tribe and members of the victim's family opposed the death penalty in the case
Judge Christen: "...the United States made an express commitment to tribal sovereignty when it enacted the tribal option, and by seeking the death penalty in this case, the United States walked away from that commitment."

New: Fed judge who prev. blocked the Trump admin's effort to limit immigrant visas to ppl who could prove they could afford health care rejected an arg that he should block Trump's new COVID immigration policy b/c it would interfere with his earlier order assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6879…
Put a different way: A federal judge won't block Trump's COVID-related immigration restrictions based on the argument that the new policy would undermine a previous ruling that blocked a different Trump admin. immigration policy

Hello from my living room, where I'll be streaming arguments at 9:30am before the en banc DC Circuit in two blockbuster cases about whether/under what circumstances Congress can take the executive branch to court — the Don McGahn subpoena fight, and a border wall funding dispute.
Sadly, the stream of this morning's arguments will only be audio. But the good news that anyone can listen, here's the link: cadc.uscourts.gov/internet/sixty…
In the McGahn subpoena fight, a district judge ruled Congress could sue to enforce a subpoena, and she rejected the Trump admin's argument that past/present senior presidential advisers enjoyed "absolute immunity" from being compelled to testify.
