JUST IN: Chief Justice Roberts has just announced Monday will be the FINAL day of opinions, which means we will know the outcome of the remaining major decisions on Monday.

Good Monday morning everyone!

It’s the final day of opinions, which means unlike the other opinion days, we know what cases will be released this morning. Although the order of the releases is not predetermined and merely a guess, we will find out between 10amET-11amET (depending on how long it takes to read the opinions and possible dissents from the bench) on how the Court rules on Presidential Immunity. On Friday, the court issued a decision on Fischer v. United States, which did a major blow to Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team regarding hundreds of January 6 prosecutions.


Stay tuned at 10amET and remember, as soon as the opinion is available on the website, it’ll be sent here immediately.

NEW: Here is the first opinion of the day from the Supreme Court. It is a 6–3 opinion delivered by Justice Barrett. Justice Jackson filed a dissenting opinion, in which Justice Sotomayor and Kagan joined. The case is called Corner Post v. Board of Governors, FRS.

Here is the link to the opinion: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/22-1008_1b82.pdf

NEW: Here is the second opinion of the day from the Supreme Court. It is a presumably 6-3 rationale ruling (9-0 on judgment) delivered by Justice Kagan. The case is called Moody v. Netchoice.

Here is the link to the opinion: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/22-277_d18f.pdf

(Next opinion is Presidential Immunity, but still waiting for it).

NEW: Here is the final opinion of the term from the Supreme Court. It is a 6–3 opinion delivered by Chief Justice Roberts. Justice Sotomayor filed a dissenting opinion, in which Justice Kagan and Jackson joined. This case is Trump V United States.

Here is a link to the opinion: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/23-939_e2pg.pdf

(HOLDING: Under our constitutional structure of separated powers, the nature of Presidential power ennoscripts a former President to absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority. And he is ennoscriptd to at least presump-
tive immunity from prosecution for all his official acts. There is no
immunity for unofficial acts.)

JUST IN: Supreme Court requests a response from New York by July 24 to a lawsuit from Missouri challenging former President Trump’s conviction and gag order in the New York criminal trial. The case was brought by Missouri to the Supreme Court under original jurisdiction.

We are not a political channel, never will be, we report on Supreme Court affairs only, but we feel morally obligated to say this: political violence is not acceptable and should never be tolerated. Our thoughts and prayers are with Former President Trump.

ICYMI: Here are the latest order lists from the month of July. This includes the “cleanup conference” that was held after the last day of opinion announcements. The Supreme Court will release another batch of order lists next month, and into September.

Good Morning Supreme Court Fans.

As we inch closer to the 2024-2025 Supreme Court term, the Court is starting to schedule oral arguments for the fall sessions.

Here is the link to view the October sitting schedule: https://www.supremecourt.gov/oral_arguments/argument_calendars/MonthlyArgumentCalOctober2024.pdf

Here is a link to view the November sitting schedule: https://www.supremecourt.gov/oral_arguments/argument_calendars/MonthlyArgumentCalNovember2024.pdf

BREAKING: Supreme Court rejects Missouri Attorney General’s request to halt the criminal sentencing of Former President Trump, scheduled for next month. Missouri sued the state of New York under original jurisdiction to pause the sentencing and the gag order imposed during the Manhattan trial. Justice Thomas and Justice Alito would grant the request for leave, but no other relief.

BREAKING: In what appears to be a 5-4 per curiam opinion, the Supreme Court has REJECTED President Biden’s request to restore his Title IX rule, which would’ve expanded sex discrimination to include sexual orientation and gender identity, while the appeals process continues. Justice Sotomayor filed a dissenting opinion, in which Justice Kagan, Justice Gorsuch, and Justice Jackson joined.

Here is the link to the per curiam: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/24a78_f2ah.pdf

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has reinstated an Arizona law that requires proof of citizenship to register to vote. Justice Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch would grant the full application. Justice Sotomayor, Kagan, Barrett and Jackson would deny the full application.

NEW: The Supreme Court is scheduled to have their “long conference” September 30, exactly one week before the term officially kicks off.

In case you’re wondering, the long conference is given its name because of how much workload is usually associated with it. During this conference, the justices discuss petitions that have piled up over the summer recess, mainly the non emergency ones. The order list resulting from today’s conference will be released at 9:30amET Monday October 7.

BREAKING: Supreme Court has rejected a request from President Biden to reinstate his student loan forgiveness program that is currently on hold in the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. There are no public dissents.
