#SCOTUS grants cert in one new case, FBI v. Fazaga. Here is the full orders list: supremecourt.gov/orders/courtor…
#SCOTUS will not hear the challenge to male-only selective service registration. Justice Sotomayor writes for her, Breyer, and Kavanaugh, talking about changes to women’s role in the military, but concluding that “at least for now,” deference to Congress makes sense.
Just to put this in a #SCOTUS news thread while we await opinions: A response was requested for the CDC eviction moratorium #SCOTUS application, per the Court's PIO. It is due 5p Thursday. (We got this info last week, but I forgot to hit send on the tweet.)
As I said last night, we don’t know what case or cases are coming down or how many, but those remaining include Obamacare, religious beliefs and gay rights, Voting Rights Act, NCAA, student speech rights, First Step Act, & more.
First and only #SCOTUS decision is in Sanchez v. Mayorkas. The unanimous opinion is by Kagan, affirming the 3rd Circuit in a win for the government limiting the effects of Temporary Protected Status for immigrants who entered unlawfully. [Corrected.] supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf…
With that lackluster morning, 22 #SCOTUS decisions remain, including Obamacare, religious beliefs and gay rights, Voting Rights Act, NCAA, student speech rights, First Step Act, & more.
All in all, I guess the most interesting move of the morning is Kavanaugh joining Sotomayor's selective service case statement (and Kagan not doing so), right?

OK, I’m ready. Let’s do this. #SCOTUS

Anyway, as I amusingly like to note, we go from Mental Health Awareness Month to LGBTQ Pride Month tonight, two months that are specifically about ME! I’m bipolar, have added in some delightful anxiety during the pandemic, and am very gay and queer. So, let’s celebrate all that!
Seriously though, especially as we come out of this past year, people are dealing with lots of mental health issues — including old ones in new ways. We really need to do our best to be gentle. It’s tough. I fail often. But we can all benefit from gentleness right now.
I had to change my meds during the pandemic, I had bad stomach issues, I had a period where I started having panic attacks. I had to be vulnerable in new ways to get the help that I needed. Now, coming out the other side, I’m sure there will be more I’m going to need.

Maybe the fact that Bo Burnham could find a way to make me cry repeatedly during his fantastic special about what we’ve been through these past 18 months isn’t the most surprising thing, but it wouldn’t have been my first call when watching his YouTube videos back in the day.
Also: Can we talk about this perfect song?
It’s amazing to think back to his initial videos: It was clear this precise sort of talent was there—bc @boburnham was already displaying it in high school! To push that forward 15 years, add in nurturing of his talent and lots of growth, and this is what we got. It’s incredible.

#SCOTUS grants no new cases this morning. Here is the full orders list: supremecourt.gov/orders/courtor…
In Johnson v. Precythe, the Supreme Court allows an execution method decision — Missouri, pentobarbital — to stand that Johnson has "plausibly pleaded," the dissenters say, will be torturous for him. He sought to be executed by a firing squad instead. SCOTUS won't hear the case.
The conclusion from Sotomayor's dissent, in which Breyer and Kagan join:
