1. Three SCOTUS opinions today. First is Penneast Pipeline Co. v. New Jersey. Held: that state sovereign immunity does not extend to blocking a pipeline condemning State conservation land without state consent under the Natural Gas Act.
2. Roberts, C. J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which Breyer, Alito, Sotomayor, and Kavanaugh, JJ., joined. Gorsuch, J., filed a dissenting opinion, in which Thomas, J., joined. Barrett, J., filed a dissenting opinion, in which Thomas, Kagan, and Gorsuch, JJ., joined.
3. Next case is Minerva Surgical, Inc. v. Hologic, Inc. Case involved a patent law doctrine of "assignor estoppel." I have done two copyright jury trials but am clueless regarding patent law. What I find interesting is the vote.
4. Kagan, J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which Roberts, C. J., and Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kavanaugh, JJ., joined. Alito, J., filed a dissenting opinion. Barrett, J., filed a dissenting opinion, in which Thomas and Gorsuch, JJ., joined.

5. My bad. It was not three cases, only two. 😎
I'm watching the three liberals being joined by Roberts and Kavanaugh on these cases may be evidence of a ideological shift. We'll see.
