@WheelerLydia CORRECTION: The justices are being asked to decide the fate of a federal law that disarms those accused, but not convicted of domestic abuse.

[Supreme Court Tracker @SCOTUSTracker]

Are there any pending SCOTUS cases YOU would like for us to do a deep dive on!

[Supreme Court Tracker @SCOTUSTracker]

This term, half of all Decisions were unanimous.
89% of all decisions this term had at least one “liberal Justice” in the majority.

[Supreme Court Tracker @SCOTUSTracker]

Should we track Pending Cases, report on notable amicus briefs, and emergency docket cases?

[Supreme Court Tracker @SCOTUSTracker]

In Biden v. Nebraska, the court holds “The text of the HEROES Act does not authorize the Secretary's loan forgiveness program.” Roberts Opinion.
The Biden Student Loan Forgiveness Program is illegal under the HEROES Act.

Today’s #SCOTUS Opinions Thread (and the last one until the next Term begins):

[Supreme Court Tracker @SCOTUSTracker]

In Department of Education vs. Brown, a Unanimous Court holds that student loan borrowers do not have standing to sue to challenge the Biden Student Loan Forgiveness Program. Alito Opinion.

🚨 #BREAKING: Police are responding to reports of a “suspicious package” outside the Supreme Court in DC

This comes amid protests over the court’s decision that affirmative action in school is unconstitutional

Evacuations underway

[Supreme Court Tracker @SCOTUSTracker]

We further anticipate the Court will release Biden v. Nebraska and Dept. of Edu v. Brown, which will decide whether the borrowers and state of Nebraska has standing and whether the Biden loan forgiveness is statutorily authorized and was adopted in a procedurally proper manner.

TOMORROW:
We anticipate the Court will release 303 Creative, a case that will decide Whether applying a public-accommodation law to compel an artist to speak or stay silent violates the free speech clause of the First Amendment..

[Supreme Court Tracker @SCOTUSTracker]

Today’s Thread:

[Supreme Court Tracker @SCOTUSTracker]

In Geoff v. DeJoy, the Court holds that “Title VII requires an employer that denies a religious accommodation to show that the burden of granting an accommodation would result in substantial increased costs in relation to the conduct of its particular business.”

Students for Fair Admission
- Roberts says Affirmative Action fails strict scrutiny, but schools may consider how race affected the personal life of applicant
- Thomas says Equal Protection Demands Colorblind Constitution and would do away with tiers of Scrutiny

[Michael Frazier @Mr_FrazierKY]

Outstanding #SCOTUS cases that remain: #303Creative and the two #studentloanforgiveness cases.

[Supreme Court Tracker @SCOTUSTracker]

In Students for Fair Admission v. Harvard, the Court holds “Harvard's and UNC's admissions programs violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.”

Affirmative Action is Unconstitutional.

[Supreme Court Tracker @SCOTUSTracker]

In Moore v. Harper, the Court rules 6-3 that state legislatures do NOT have exclusive jurisdiction to set rules regarding federal elections.

This is a HUGE election law case. Thomas, Gorsuch, and Alito dissent.
