Hello from… my office because the VRE sucks. #SCOTUS 
Today at #SCOTUS the Justices will consider challenges to Biden’s $400B student loan forgiveness program. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/bi…
Solicitor General Prelogar will argue both cases for the Biden administration. Nebraska SG James Campbell will argued for GOP-led states challenging the policy. And Consovoy McCarthy partner J. Michael Connolly will make his #SCOTUS debut. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/co…
But first, the Justices will issue opinion(s) at 10. Some #SCOTUSstats…
#SCOTUS has decided 5 cases, with 55 remaining. The Justices have affirmed 3, vacated 1, and DIG’d another.

So far ACB has taken Justice Ginsburg’s place as the fastest Justice, averaging 95 days from argument to decision (though both of hers have been unanimous). Sotomayor is at 113. Kagan 133. No other Justices have opinions so far this term.
So far there have been 2 unanimous rulings, and one each of 6-3 and 5-4, with conservatives joining their more liberal colleagues in the majority. Though I *suspect*that will change as we get to the more controversial cases.
We’ve got loads of cases still outstanding from the consequential October sitting, including environmental case Sackett v. EPA, voting rights case Merrill v. Milligan, and the foundational copyright case Andy Warhol. I’d be a bit surprised to see any of those today.
That’s all for #SCOTUSstats as the Justices aren’t giving me a lot to work with with its historically slow start to opinions. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/ju…
1st #SCOTUS opinion in Delaware’s fight with 30 other states over potentially hundreds of millions of unclaimed Moneyrams. No 22O145 Delaware v. Pennsylvania. Background: news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-tax-repo…
It's Justice Jackson's first #SCOTUS opinion for a (sort of) unanimous Court in No. 22O145 Delaware v. Pennsylvania.
The court-appointed Special Master initially ruled against Delaware. But in an unusual move he changed positions following #SCOTUS arguments. news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-tax-repo…
#SCOTUS sides with Pennsylvania, saying the disputed money grams fall within FDA (not common law) for purposes of escheatment.
Last #SCOTUS opinion in case re: Bank Secrecy Act penalties. No 21-1195 Bittner v. US. Background: news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-tax-repo…
Justice Gorsuch has the opinion in No 21-1195 Bittner v. US for a 5-4 #SCOTUS. CA5 is reversed. Breakdown is Gorsuch, Jackson, Roberts, Alito, Kavanaugh v. Barrett, Thomas, Sotomayor, Kagan.
Siding with individual in Bittner, #SCOTUS says Bank Secrecy Act's $10K penalty is per report, not per account.
Conservative US Supreme Court justices questioned the legality of President Joe Biden’s plan to slash the student debt of more than 40 million people, as arguments began in a high-stakes showdown over presidential power. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/su…
