“Barrett, the newest conservative on the court, accused Thomas, the most senior associate justice, of a “laser-like focus on the history” that “misses the forest for the trees.” #SCOTUS

Once again for those who didn’t hear it….THE SUPREME COURT DID NOT DECIDE TO ALLOW EMERGENCY CARE FOR PREGNANT WOMEN….THEY JUST DELAYED THE DECISION. #SCOTUS
First #SCOTUS opinion today: Texas v. New Mexico. TX and NM lose bid to get more water under a Rio Grande river consent decree
Via Elie Mystal:
It's a water rights case. 5-4 Jackson opinion. Gorsuch, Thomas, Alito and Barret dissenting. I think it's the first 5-4 Jackson case?
The third #SCOTUS opinion today: Erlinger v. US.
Gerstein:
Jury has to decide whether offenses under fed Armed Career Criminal Act were committed on separate occasions. Gorsuch writes, 6-3. Kavanaugh/Alito/Jackson in dissent.

💥The fifth #SCOTUS opinion today: United States v. Rahimi
Reuters: U.S. SUPREME COURT RULES IN FAVOR OF BIDEN ADMINISTRATION DEFENDING FEDERAL GUN BAN FOR DOMESTIC ABUSERS
No #SCOTUS decision on #Trump’s absolute #immunity claim.
Chief *Justice* #JohnRoberts announced that Monday is the final day of the term.
Monday will mark the first time since 2020 that the Supreme Court term runs into July. The court extended the session that year because of delays caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Before that, it had not happened since 1996.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court rules that emergency abortions are permitted in Idaho for the time being but #SCOTUS does not rule on the merits of the case before it, leaving open the possibility of a full abortion ban in the state. Moyle: https://tinyurl.com/28xx6dz9
#SCOTUS on Thurs will issue more end-of-the-term rulings, potentially including whether #Trump is immune from prosecution in his federal #ElectionInterference case, whether #Jan6 #insurgents may be charged w/ #obstruction & whether #FederalRegulatoryAgencies should have their #powers reduced. Wed, the court inadvertently posted a ruling it has not yet announced that, while #litigation continues, would allow emergency #abortions to stabilize patients in #Idaho where #abortion is banned.
NBC:
Supreme Court sidesteps ruling on emergency room abortion-access dispute
The court opted against deciding whether Idaho’s abortion ban conflicts with a federal law that sets standards for hospital emergency room care, leaving legal question unresolved.
So
The elected #President of the #UnitedStatesofAmerica may attempt to coerce the elected #VicePresident of the United States to overthrow an election at the #ElectoralCollege and that is now considered an official act of the #Presidency
Got it

#SCOTUS Will Not Hear Challenge to #Georgia Utility Board Elections
Georgians will continue to vote for members of its state utility board in at-large elections after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear a Voting Rights Act challenge to the method today.
Black voters argued the at-large system prevented them from electing a candidate of their choice, leading to a lack of representation at the state-wide level.

****TRIGGER WARNING****
EXACTLY FIVE MONTHS AGO TODAY: a story on a study by the JAMA, which revealed 64,565 women and girls became pregnant from rape in states since June 22, 2022 (US Supreme Ct overturn of Roe) where there was a ban on abortion. A total of nearly 520,000 rapes in those states: https://tinyurl.com/2p9s4byy #SCOTUS

Again & again since #Trump returned to the White House, #SCOTUS’ conservative majority has blessed his boundary-pushing policies….
But on Wednesday, the justices will consider for the first time whether to say “no” to Trump….
At issue is the legality of his…use of emergency powers to impose sweeping #tariffs on nearly every US trading partner. The outcome of the case could significantly affect the global #economy….
