Fun Fact: This an order from the emergency docket (coined as the shadow docket), so the vote isn’t necessarily public. An interesting fact relating to this specific one is every associate justice on the Court voiced an opinion, whether through a written concurrence/dissent, or a sign on to either. Chief Justice Roberts is the only one on the bench who did not voice an opinion, meaning we don’t know officially if this was a 6-3 or 5-4 decision. That’s all!

The justices will convene to announce one or more opinions in argued cases, and hear one case for oral argument this morning.
The case is called Thornell v. Jones, which involves a deathrow inmate who made claims of ineffective counsel at sentencing. The justices will consider whether the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals violated Supreme Court precedent Strickland. The question presented is as follows: Did the Ninth Circuit violate this Court's precedents by employing a flawed methodology for assessing Strickland prejudice when it disregarded the district court's factual and credibility findings and excluded evidence in aggravation and the State's rebuttal when it reversed the district court and granted habeas relief?

The justices will convene to hear two cases for oral argument this morning.
The first case is called Department of State v. Munoz, which involves the Immigration and Nationality Act, which allows consular officers in the DOS to grant or deny non-citizens a visa application. The issue at hand is whether the refusal of such to a U.S. Citizen's non-citizen spouse infringes on the "constitutionally protected interest of the citizen".
The second case is called Starbucks Corp. v. McKinney, which deals with the National Labor Relations Act, which adjudicates complaints against employers for engaging in unfair labor practices. The justices will consider the following question: Whether courts must evaluate the NLRB's requests for section 10(j) injunctions under the traditional, stringent four-factor test for preliminary injunctions or under some other more lenient standard.
