Good morning Twitter friends! It is me, @Hegemommy here to get us through another sweaty SCOTUS morning.

We can do this. I believe in us.

Thirteen cases remain. With only two decision days on the calendar this week.

Basically, it’s gonna be a week

First decision is in and it's a case from May. Involves a provision regarding funding for HIV/AIDS work overseas that requires organizations that receive government funds to have a policy of opposing prostitution and sex trafficking.

5-3 Court says this is totally fine

Kavanaugh has the opinion. Kagan recused. Breyer dissents with Sotomayor and RBG signing on.

Here's a link to the opinion-- Thomas writes separately to say the funding condition is just fine because nobody is forcing anyone to say anything.

JUNE MEDICAL SERVICES IS IN

BREYER HAS THE DECISION THIS IS A GOOD DAY

Roberts filed a concurring decision. There is a lot to unpack here!

Act 620, Louisiana's admitting privileges law is unconstitutional

Louisiana waived its ability to challenge standing.

Roberts concurrence is about having to respect stare decisis. He doesn't like having to uphold the Louisiana law, but stare decisis requires him to do so

The conservatives would have ruled that abortion providers can't challenge restrictions on behalf of their patients. Today the Court batted that argument away-- hopefully for good

We have the final decision of the day in, and it is Roberts gutting the CFPB

The agency survives and it's a complicated decision. But the folks who were reading the tea leaves about Roberts having this case and Breyer having June Medical Services were 100% correct y'all should enjoy a whiskey or a nice sparkling water because you earned it!
