Excited to announce this Thursday's event: Dobbs and its Implications. Registration details below:

[Stanford Law | ACS @StanfordACS]

Despite all the carnage of this term, we can still take joy in Justice Jackson starting her tenure on the court. Congratulations once again to Justice Jackson and thank you Justice Breyer for your service.

[Stanford Law | ACS @StanfordACS]

After all the carnage of this term, it's clear we must reform the court while we still can.

#SCOTUS ended the term on a terrifying note, taking up a case that would give state legislatures unprecedented power to dictate the results of elections.

[Steve Vladeck @steve_vladeck]

#BREAKING: #SCOTUS grants certiorari in Moore v. Harper; will decide next Term whether state legislatures can override state courts on questions of state law where federal elections are concerned (the "independent state legislature doctrine"):

@imillhiser explains that there is no real legal conflict in this case - it is just a vehicle for #SCOTUS to undermine our election laws: https://t.co/mKtXNYj8jB

[Stanford Law | ACS @StanfordACS]

#SCOTUS also did damage outside of published opinions. As @steve_vladeck notes, the Court hid behind the shadow docket to avoid explaining why it kept striking down majority-minority Voting Rights Act districts.

[Steve Vladeck @steve_vladeck]

With one each in Alabama, Georgia, and Louisiana, that makes at least *three* U.S. House districts that lower courts have ruled had to be "majority-minority" districts under the Voting Rights Act (and likely Democratic), but that won't be in the 2022 midterms thanks to #SCOTUS.

[Stanford Law | ACS @StanfordACS]

@MaggieBlackhawk also has a great thread on how Congress can strip #SCOTUS jurisdiction to prevent decisions like this from happening again

[Stanford Law | ACS @StanfordACS]

Next there's the @mjs_DC thread putting Oklahoma v. Castro-Huerta in context

[Stanford Law | ACS @StanfordACS]

@StanfordLaw Professor Jane Schacter also has fantastic analysis of what the court might do with substantive due process as a result of Dobbs: https://t.co/PJitqdFiBF

[Stanford Law | ACS @StanfordACS]

A lot has been said about Dobbs. @MeylerBernie has a great quote in the @sfchronicle on the flaws of relying on 19th century laws to understand today's rights: https://t.co/Z7D8JZMOm8

[Stanford Law | ACS @StanfordACS]

Next there's Bruen. Experts like @JohnDonohueSLS agree this decision will make us less safe from gun violence: https://t.co/kE2JdlG5LV

[Stanford Law | ACS @StanfordACS]

What a destructive #SCOTUS term. Here's a thread with some of the best analysis of the worst decisions:

As an aside, it's doubtful anyone who has lived through a California wildfire cares if EPA was specifically delegated authority to start the transition away from coal.
