Breaking: #SCOTUS grants three new cases, including Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health, a challenge to Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban. (Second image is from the petition, from which the court will be considering Question 1: the constitutionality of the ban.) 
Here’s the docket for Dobbs: supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?fi…
Here’s the full orders list: supremecourt.gov/orders/courtor…
Shinn v. Ramirez is a state-side petition in a capital case — as in, the state lost below — and it’s an AEDPA case out of the 9th Circuit, so, not knowing much more, that grant is going to be of concern to the criminal defense bar. Docket: supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?fi…
The first #SCOTUS decision is in Edwards v. Vannoy, and the court holds that Ramos, which struck down nonunanimous criminal juries, is not retroactive on federal review. Kavanaugh writes for the 6-3 court; Kagan writes for the dissenters: supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf…
The second #SCOTUS decision is in BP v. Mayor & City Council of Baltimore. BP wins in a case about federal court removal from state court in a case relating to environmental impacts. Gorsuch writes the 7-1 decision. Only Sotomayor dissents. Alito recused. supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf…
The third #SCOTUS decision is CIC Services v. IRS. The IRS loses (on Tax Day, ironically enough). Kagan has the opinion for a unanimous court. supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf…
Still at least one more opinion coming.
The final #SCOTUS opinion today is in Caniglia v. Strom, protecting against the warrantless taking of firearms from the home under a “community caretaking” exception. Thomas has the opinion for the unanimous court. supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf…
