In my latest for @MSNBC, I write about the upcoming #SCOTUS Puerto Rico SSI exclusion case, Biden’s statement on the case, DOJ’s filing defending the exclusion, & why @POTUS knows better than to think this is the best he can do. [Spoiler: It’s about DOMA.] msnbc.com/opinion/puerto…
“Biden’s statement and his Justice Department’s actions reinforce the racist history that allowed for such exclusion in the first place.” msnbc.com/opinion/puerto…
Biden knows better. msnbc.com/opinion/puerto…
And, for those who recall the history of the Obama DOMA defense-turned-non-defense, I address that, too. msnbc.com/opinion/puerto…

Biden's first judicial nominee has been confirmed.
Neals, who is 56, was originally nominated to the district court in 2015 by Obama. He was renominated (although for a different seat on the same court) by Biden this year.
Biden's second judicial nominee is due to be voted on later this afternoon. Regina Rodriguez, who is 57, was originally nominated to the district court in 2016 by Obama. She was renominated (for a different seat on the same court) by Biden this year.

It was 18 years ago, in spring 2003, that I fell in love with the whole coffee shop studying/working idea, and it’s stuck since (as everyone in Columbus and DC who knows me knows). I missed losing myself for hours in these almost-magical-for-me places. I’m so glad to be back.
The first thing I really dug into at a coffee shop was my first work as a research assistant for @MarcSpindelman, coding the Lawrence v. Texas briefs, which meant reading every merits and amicus brief closely — a couple of weekends that, looking back, probably changed my life.
And it continued. A few years later, I studied (successfully) for the bar at a coffee shop. Years later, I started my journalism career writing stories from coffee shops in DC. And so it continued through to tonight. Sitting there after more than a year away filled my heart. 💖

#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.)

Get ready. #SCOTUS opinions starting in less than 15 minutes.
OK, I’m ready. Let’s do this. #SCOTUS
@thewydown There is only one opinion from #SCOTUS this morning: Van Buren v. US, about the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Barrett has the majority 6-3 opinion, reversing the 11th Circuit and FOR the defendant in the case. Thomas, joined by Roberts and Alito, dissents.
