NEW at SCOTUS: Trump administration returns to the Supreme Court with an emergency request to keep the president's financial records out of the hands of a NY grand jury.
Correction: this is Trump in his personal capacity, the administration.
Here is the full request drive.google.com/file/d/1i6y-RT…
correction to the correction: meant to write *not* the administration.

too much today.

Barrett just told @SenBlumenthal that Loving v. Virginia (striking down mixed-race marriage bans) was based directly on Brown v. Board of Ed and was therefore correctly decided—but she can't opine on Griswold or Obergefell.

Her characterization of Loving is not quite right. 1/4
Brown v. Board was based *only* the Equal Protection Clause: the idea that separate schools are inherently unequal. The Court explicitly declined to consider whether segregation is also unconstitutional under substantive due process. 2/4 Image
Loving, on the other hand, was based on *both* the Equal Protection Clause and the Due Process Clause, with *more* analysis devoted to the latter. It is a substantive due-process case, much like Griswold (right to contraception) and Obergefell (marriage equality). 3/4 Image

💥 BREAKING: SUPREME COURT SIDESTEPS TRUMP FINANCES CASE INVOLVING CONGRESSIONAL SUBPOENAS, RECORDS WILL REMAIN UNDER WRAPS UNTIL AFTER ELECTION
Case is Trump v. Mazars supremecourt.gov/opinions/19pdf…
Gist of the decision, which is 7-2 (with Alito and Thomas in dissent): lower courts did not take an adequate look at the special concerns involved when Congress subpoenas information about a president.

They need to try again.

💥 BREAKING: TRUMP LOSES SUPREME COURT BATTLE WITH NEW YORK PROSECUTOR OVER HIS TAXES AND FINANCIAL RECORDS
Vote is 7-2. Chief Justice Roberts writes.

Thomas and Alito dissent.
This means a grand jury investigating the president will gain access to 8 years of Trump's tax and financial records.

It does not mean the public will see them, for now.
