Supreme Court Announcements/Decisions

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.

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: 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, and Jackson would deny the full application.

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.
