Biden administration has told the Supreme Court it believes Obamacare law should be upheld in full, taking opposition approach to the Trump administration
*opposite approach, apologies for typo
The Biden administration says no need for more briefing so the letter is basically just an FYI
Based on November's oral argument, it didn't seem like the court would strike the entire law down

Of note to Supreme Court:
-Travel ban to be revoked
-Plan to exclude noncitizens from census to be revoked
-Path to citizenship for dreamers proposed as part of immigration bill
-Border wall construction halted
-Undoing Remain in Mexico asylum plan could take time
Border wall & remain in Mexico cases are scheduled for argument next month but as both were based on executive actions the administration could presumably make both of them go away quite easily
There are also appeals pending at the Supreme Court on the Trump "public charge" rule for immigrants that the Biden administration could presumably withdraw assuming the court doesn't quickly act on them (which it could have done already and hasn't)

Two Obama appointees in the majority

In partial dissent, Walker, Trump appointee, says EPA has no authority at all to regulate coal under section 111 of Clean Air Act

Pro-Trump lawyer Lin Wood, who has an election-related petition pending at the Supreme Court, has been posting a lot of weird tweets about Chief Justice Roberts (which I’m not linking to) that among other things appear to reference a conspiracy about Roberts' children
(deleted old version to make clear whose children I was talking about)
Somehow I don't think spreading conspiracy theories about the Chief Justice is considered a useful tactic for those hoping their case will be heard by the Supreme Court
