#SCOTUS opinions coming shortly. Reminder: There are 12 decisions remaining — including voting rights, financial disclosure, student speech rights, and more. As always, we don’t know which or how many decisions are coming.
First #SCOTUS decision is in Lange v. California. Kagan has the opinion for the court, holding that police pursuing a fleeing misdemeanor suspect do not "categorically" have justification to enter a home without a warrant. supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf… Image
It's basically a 7-2 decision, although there are some caveats there (see opinion and below). Roberts, joined by Alito, thinks the court goes too far, saying that flight is, itself, an exigent circumstance that would allow warrantless entry. ImageImage
Second — and not final — #SCOTUS decision today is Collins v. Yellen (the Fannie/Freddie case). Alito has the court's opinion. supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf… Image
Here's the key part on the constitutional question (Section III.B), and it's the part Kagan and Breyer do not join (Sotomayor didn't sign on to any of the majority opinion, so, she doesn't either.): Image
Breaking: Supreme Court rules 8-1 that a high school violated a student's free expression rights when it kicked her off the cheerleading team for off-campus speech.
Breyer has the opinion for the court. Alito, joined by Gorsuch, writes a concurring opinion (although they join Breyer's decision as well). Only Thomas dissents. supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf… Image
At least one more opinion is coming.
Today's final #SCOTUS decision is Cedar Point Nursery v. Hassid. Roberts has the 6-3 opinion for the court, finding a taking in the case over a California agricultural regulation. Breyer, joined by Sotomayor and Kagan, dissents. supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf… Image
With that, eight #SCOTUS decisions remain, including both the voting rights and financial disclosure cases. The next decisions are expected on Friday.

BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court holds that a district court cannot enforce its remedy order providing due process to the 8 people the Trump admin sent out of the U.S. (who are now in Djibouti) in violation of the injunction in the third country removals case, which the Supreme Court later stayed.The motion for clarification is granted. Our June 23 order stayed the April 18 preliminary injunction in full. The May 21 remedial order cannot now be used to enforce an injunction that our stay rendered unenforceable. See Nken v. Holder, 556 U. S. 418, 428 (2009) (explaining that a reviewing court's stay order "divest[s]" the district court "order of enforceability"). Even if we accepted respondents' characterization of the May 21 order, such a remedy would serve to "coerce" the Government into "compliance" and would be unenforceable given our stay o...
The apparent 7-2 vote — with Kagan joining the Republican appointees on the procedural question of the district court's power — is appalling abdication of its role in our constitutional republic.

The short of it is seven justices said Trump can send these 8 people to South Sudan with no process.
Here is the "clarification" order, as well as Kagan's concurrence and Sotomayor's dissent for her and Jackson: supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf…JUSTICE KAGAN, concurring. I voted to deny the Government’s previous stay applica- tion in this case, and I continue to believe that this Court should not have stayed the District Court’s April 18 order enjoining the Government from deporting non-citizens to third countries without notice or a meaningful opportunity to be heard. See DHS v. D. V. D., 606 U. S. ___, ___–___ (2025) (SOTOMAYOR, J., dissenting) (slip op., at 9–18). But a majority of this Court saw things differently, and I do not see how a district court can compel compliance with an or- der that this Court has stayed. See Unite...

BREAKING: Supreme Court upholds district court order that the Trump administration "facilitate" the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was improperly sent to El Salvador.

More to come at Law Dork: lawdork.comThe application is granted in part and denied in part, subject to the direction of this order. Due to the administrative stay issued by THE CHIEF JUSTICE, the deadline imposed by the District Court has now passed. To that extent, the Government's emergency application is effectively granted in part and the deadline in the challenged order is no longer effective. The rest of the District Court's order remains in effect but requires clarification on remand. The order properly requires the Government to "facilitate" Abrego Garcia's release from custody in El Salvador and to ensure th...
A part of the government's request to vacate the original order is "effectively granted" b/c the deadline passed, SCOTUS holds, but the rest of the order stands. As to the requirement to "effectuate" Abrego Garcia's return, the district court should "clarify" that, w/ deference to executive.
Here is the full order, including a statement from Sotomayor, joined by Kagan and Jackson: supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf…

BREAKING: On a 5-4 vote, the Supreme Court allows the Education Dep't to halt payment of grants.

A district court issued a TRO blocking the cancelation of the grants in a suit brought by eight states. The appeals court refused a stay pending appeal.

Today, SCOTUS stayed the TRO—blocking payments.Image
Image
Thomas, Alito and the three Trump appointees formed the five-justice majority who issued the unsigned per curiam opinion.

Roberts wrote nothing but noted he would have denied the application.

Kagan and Jackson wrote dissents. Sotomayor joined Jackson's dissent, which does not hold back:Image
Here is the opinion: supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf…

BREAKING: A federal judge this morning issued a temporary restraining order blocking the Trump administration from invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport several Venezuelan nationals with no process.

Subscribe to Law Dork for more: lawdork.comMINUTE ORDER: The Court has reviewed Plaintiffs' Complaint and Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. Given the exigent circumstances that it has been made aware of this morning, it has determined that an immediate Order is warranted to maintain the status quo until a hearing can be set. As Plaintiffs have satisfied the four factors governing the issuance of preliminary relief, the Court accordingly ORDERS that: 1) Plaintiffs' 3 4 Motion for TRO is GRANTED; 2) Defendants shall not remove any of the individual Plaintiffs from the United States for 14 days absent further Order of the Court; ...

BREAKING: A federal district court judge in Kentucky vacates the Biden administration's Title IX rule, challenged largely for its transgender protections, a decision with nationwide effect.

Law Dork's extensive coverage of challenges to the rule can be found here: lawdork.com/t/title-ix-ruleHaving determined that the challenged portions of the Final Rule are invalid, the Court considers the appropriate remedy. While the Department argues in favor of severance, the Court remains persuaded that the three challenged provisions fatally taint the entire rule. As the Court has explained, the definition of discrimination “on the basis of sex” lies at the heart of Title IX and permeates virtually every provision of the law. While not directly challenged in this proceeding, the Final Rule brings new requirements for handling grievances, training, recordkeeping, and processing complaint...
The rule had been blocked in over half over the country as a result of several different challenges, but there had been no nationwide ruling — and appeals are pending in several appeals courts.

U.S. District Judge Danny Reeves's ruling: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Here is Reeves's judgment in the case: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…2. The Final Rule entitled “Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Sex in Education Programs or Activities Receiving Federal Financial Assistance”, 89 Fed. Reg. 33474 (Apr. 29, 2024) is unlawful because: (a) Title IX’s prohibition on “sex” discrimination does not include the bases or conduct covered by § 106.02’s hostile-environment harassment definition, § 106.10, or § 106.31(a)’s regulation of sex-segregated facilities and programs; (b) it violates the Spending Clause and the First Amendment; (c) it is arbitrary and capricious; and, therefore, (d) the Plaintiff States, their political subdivis...
