We are now ten minutes away from the release of opinions. With 27 cases left, we are getting tantalizingly close to some big ticket cases dealing with loan forgiveness case, college admissions, free speech etc. jonathanturley.org/2022/10/03/fro…
Here we go . . .
...We have the first opinion: Health & Hospital Corp. of Marion County v. Talevski. It is 7-2 and written by Justice Jackson. supremecourt.gov/opinions/22pdf…
...While many have portrayed this as a hopelessly divided court, it is yet another near unanimous decision. The Court rules that nursing home residents can go to court under the Federal Nursing Home Reform Act to litigate their rights.
...We have one of my favorites! Jack Daniel's v. VIP Products. Justice Kagan wrote for a unanimous court. supremecourt.gov/opinions/22pdf…
...I wrote about this case earlier involving a parody chew toy. jonathanturley.org/2022/11/28/no-…
...The court remanded to apply a different standard -- a win for Jack Daniels and a blow to parody. Kagan declared that VIP cannot claim that the use of the image is noncommercial "just because it parodies, or otherwise comments on, another's products."
...We now have Dubin v. United States written by Justice Sotomayor with another remand. The case presented the question of whether a person commits aggravated identity theft any time they mention or otherwise recite someone else's name while committing a predicate… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
...The Court interprets "use" as qualifying as "in relation to" the predicate offense if the use relates to the core elements of what makes the conduct criminal. Another unanimous decision with only one concurrence in the judgment.
...Next up: Allen v. Milligan. Since this is by the Chief, it might be the last. This is one of the big voting rights cases. Question: Whether the state of Alabama’s 2021 redistricting plan for its seven seats in the United States House of Representatives violated Section 2 of… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
...The Court rules with the lower court that there was a reasonable likelihood of success in the challenge that Alabama's congressional maps violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. supremecourt.gov/opinions/22pdf…
...Again, the critics may be disappointed in the lack of rigid ideological division. Roberts rules with Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson -- and Kavanaugh in parts.
...Allen shows how the center on this Court is the combination of Roberts and Kavanaugh. jonathanturley.org/2018/07/12/for…
