BREAKING: A splintered Supreme Court grants *partial* relief to churches in California challenging COVID public-health orders limiting prayer attendance, but requests to lift percentage capacity restrictions and permit indoor singing are denied.
This is a wild division:

- Thomas and Gorsuch would give the churches everything they want, including indoor singing.
- Alito would go nearly that far
- Kavanaugh, Barrett and Roberts would not allow singing, for now
- Kagan, Breyer and Sotomayor would not grant any relief
Kagan in the first line of her dissent decrying SCOTUS's micromanaging of states' response to the pandemic:

"Justices of this Court are not scientists."

A lot of people are upset by this NYT editorial chiding Biden for signing too many executive orders.

They're right to be upset. It rests on faulty reasoning.

nytimes.com/2021/01/27/opi…
Three problems:

1. Four years from now, NYT says, another president can issue more executive orders & reverse Biden's. Sure, that's true. So should Biden sit tight with the Muslim ban, stay out of the Paris accord, etc., just bc four years from now these things may be undone?
2. NYT acknowledges that some of these EOs are necessary, as they erase Trump's "excesses." OK, you're onto something. See previous tweet.

NEW at SCOTUS: Emoluments clauses cases involving President Trump are dismissed as moot
A lot of people in the replies are upset and wondering how profiteering from the presidency could be moot after a president leaves office. It's a toughie. The q all along was what the remedy could be. Main one proposed: have Trump divest from his corporate holdings while prez...
But of course he's no longer president, so that is not necessary. He can profit all he likes now.

Weird takeaway: sometimes you can break a clear constitutional rule and get away with it.

BREAKING: Supreme Court denies emergency request from man with mental disabilities who has been in America for 42 years not to be deported to Haiti, his home country. Justice Sotomayor is the only justice to note her dissent. Image
Justice Sotomayor would allow Mr. Francois to remain in the country while he pursues his legal claim. Image
She argues that Mr. François will suffer irreparable harm if he is returned to Haiti, where he is unlikely to receive the mental health treatment he requires for his safety and well-being. Image

Trump's farewell video is almost 20 minutes long. Can I do this.
Overwhelming gratitude to Melania.

Then mentions each kid. You fill my world with light and with joy.

Also Pence. Uh huh.
Says he'll pray for the new administration without naming any names in case, you know

BREAKING: For the fourth time this week, the Supreme Court has voted 6-3 to clear the way for a last-minute federal execution before Trump leaves office. Justices Breyer and Sotomayor write dissents. Justice Kagan also notes her dissent.
Dustin Higgs has COVID-19 and will be executed tonight despite lung damage that could turn his lethal injection into an egregiously painful death.

Here is Justice Sotomayor’s closing.
Here is Breyer on the SCOTUS majority’s rush to execute
