SCOTUS grants new case: Thompson v. Clark (1 of the Heck v. Humphrey "favorable termination" rule cases) about when & whether the dismissal of a case counts as a “favorable termination” to allow recovery under fed civil rights laws for unconstitutional conviction or imprisonment.
The court denied another petition filed by former President Trump relating to the 2020 elections -- this one against the Wisconsin Elections Commission.

No action on the challenge to the Mississippi law that bans most abortions after 15 weeks.

Here's the case page on the court's new grant this morning, Thompson v. Clark.
SCOTUS still hasn't acted on Biden DOJ request to cancel argument in the upcoming case about the legality of Medicaid work requirements approved under the Trump admin. It's scheduled for March 29; DOJ has asked SCOTUS to scrap it while the Biden administration unwinds the policy.

BREAKING: After 4 months of inaction, SCOTUS in a one-sentence unsigned order declines Trump's request to further postpone enforcement of a Manhattan DA subpoena for his financial records. The order clears the way for a NY grand jury to obtain the records & review them in secret.
Here is the orders list: supremecourt.gov/orders/courtor…
SCOTUS declines to take up a pair of leftover cases from the 2020 election. They involved the authority of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to extend the state's mail-in ballot deadline. Thomas, Alito and Gorsuch say the court should have granted review.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has denied Texas' last-ditch effort to overturn the election results in four battleground states that voted for Joe Biden. supremecourt.gov/orders/courtor…
In a very brief order, the court says Texas lacks Article III standing to sue other states over how they conduct their own elections. In layperson's words: a state has no valid interest, under the Constitution, in attempting to police other states' voting procedures.
The separate statement from Alito/Thomas is based on their view (not shared by a majority of the court) that SCOTUS is obligated to take up any case that invokes the court's "original jurisdiction." It's a technical issue and says nothing about the underlying merits of the case.

We will get multiple opinions today. 1st is Rutledge v. Pharmaceutical Care Mgmt Assoc. SCOTUS reversed the 8th Cir. to hold that an Arkansas’ statute regulating pharmacy benefit managers’ drug-reimbursement rates is not pre-empted by ERISA.

It's 8-0. supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf…
Next the court holds that prosecutions for rape against military service members were timely under the Uniform Code of Military Justice in United States v. Briggs. Justice Alito writes for the full court, 8-0.

Still expecting at least one more opinion.

Justice Breyer for the 8-0 court in Carney v. Adams declining to decide the merits of a 1st Amendment challenge to Delaware's judicial selection process and finding that the challenge lacked legal standing.

At least one more opinion coming.

At 10 a.m. EST, SCOTUS will examine Facebook’s calling and texting capabilities in the context of a 1991 consumer protection law that bans robocalls. It’s a classic case of whether technology can outrun the language of the law.

Overview by @AmandaShanor. scotusblog.com/2020/12/case-p…
At 11 a.m. EST, the court will hear a case for the second time on a slightly different issue about the scope of the Federal Arbitration Act in a dispute between two dental companies.

A bit of deja vu in the case preview from Ronald Mann.

First, here is @AHoweBlogger's case preview with everything you need to know about the case.
