Here’s where to follow the mornings announcements:

UPDATE: Not related (beyond the fact that abortion/ reproductive healthcare is always connected to the ACA on some level), but there's already another major SCOTUS news development this morning:
https://twitter.com/SCOTUSblog/status/1394284425224114176
First opinion announced is..."Edwards v. Vannoy" which is NOT the #ACA case.
"The Court holds that the Ramos v. Louisiana jury unanimity rule does not apply retroactively on federal collateral review."
"The Court holds that the Ramos v. Louisiana jury unanimity rule does not apply retroactively on federal collateral review."
"No R number yet. Come back at 10 after."
If there's an "R" number by the case, that means it's the last one of the day.
Which means there's at least one more decision to be announced this morning...

My palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on my sweater already, mom's spaghetti.
OK, not really, but still.

Next Decision: "BP v. Mayor & City Council of Baltimore"...which is NOT the #ACA case.
"As several of you point out. we have no R number, so more to come."
This was a 7-1 decision; Alito recused. Sotomayor dissents.

One potentially (?) significant note from @SCOTUSblog re. the case just announced:
"Gorsuch notes at the end that Congress can always change the result if it doesn't like this rule."
"Gorsuch notes at the end that Congress can always change the result if it doesn't like this rule."
NEXT DECISION: "CIC Servicees vs. IRS"...which is NOT the #ACA case.
Unanimous 9-0 decision on whatever this one is.

Still no "R" number...which means "we're getting a flood of cases today" via @SCOTUSblog livethread...
Whoa. Someone at @SCOTUSblog just said (re. the IRS case just annonced), "So weird seeing NFIB v. Sebelius cited as precedent. It was 9 years ago sure but it seems like such a recent decision. Maybe I'm getting old."
NFIB v. Sebelious was the case where the ACA was ruled Constitutional, but Medicaid expansion had to be voluntary. It saved the law overall but is also the reason why 14 states still haven't expanded (well, 12 + OK which is supposed to launch theirs in July & MO which is a mess).
Apparently SCOTUS issues their decisions every 10 minutes.
I should've eaten breakfast before 10am. This could be a long morning...

NEXT DECISION: "Caniglia v. Strom"...which is NOT the #ACA case.
9-0 ruling. Here's a summary. Hey, it involves guns, because of course it does!

annnnnnnnnd....there's an "R" number, so apparently that's it for today.
The #ACA survives for at least another week or two.
The Sword of Damocles continues to dangle.
