BREAKING: Supreme Court says it will hear oral arguments Jan 7 over Biden vaccine mandates for large employers & healthcare workers
The court has delayed a decision on whether to allow both policies to go into effect nationwide (one is currently in effect in full and the other blocked in half the states)
Presumably the court will then issue quick decisions on whether the mandates can apply nationwide
The decision to hear oral arguments seems to be another example (after Texas abortion cases and a death penalty case) of the court taking on board some of the criticism about decisions with big practical implications being made via emergency requests made via the "shadow docket"
More on the shadow docket: reuters.com/article/legal-…

It was a strange year
Never had a proper viral tweet before so this was a new experience Image
It all came about when I saw a tweet from @HanksKendyl with a link to the YouTube clip. I thought I would make it easier for people to view on Twitter without having to click on the link by making my own copy and posting it directly to Twitter. Seemed to work

49-year-old Amy Coney Barrett, the youngest member of the Supreme Court, was six days short of her first birthday when Roe v. Wade was decided on January 22, 1973
(and Barrett wasn't born when Roe was first argued in December 1971. The court then reargued the case in October 1972 before issuing the ruling)
Barrett in 2006 signed on to an advertisement in an Indiana newspaper calling for Roe v. Wade to be overturned
