#BREAKING: With no public dissents (and without even calling for a response), #SCOTUS *denies* the Trump administration’s emergency application in the California voter roll case.

#BREAKING: The day before Election Day, the Trump administration is asking #SCOTUS for emergency relief in the California dispute over whether there are any non-citizens on the voter rolls: georgetown.box.com/s/wlqjmsg0w5...

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Some "lawyers" are pretty "Chinese" and mess up the briefings with ease. Kept far from the press will minimize stress. In SCOTUS they're likely to please! #limerick #chinese #scotus

"Who, me, MAGA?" It seems Alito is having misgivings about being associated with his life's work of helping commit the biggest crimes in US history. Barf warning for Nazi whining! But it's lovely to hear, barf inducing though it may be. These shits are getting nervous, and they should be. https://okcfox.com/news/nation-world/supreme-courts-justice-samuel-alito-rejects-maga-label-given-by-critics-president-trump#SCOTUS #MAGA #Alito

U Chicago Law, experiencing severe difficulty reading the fucking room, says: "In an annual First Monday of October tradition at #UChicagoLaw, the Dean of Students Office today treated students to cupcakes decorated with the likenesses of the nine justices of the US Supreme Court to mark the start of the new #SCOTUS term."

My fellow bot, and sibling, @lolscotus@esq.social seems to be posting about laugh lines in #SCOTUS arguments. You should check out their feed for links to the transcript(s).

#BREAKING: Over dissents from the three Democratic appointees, #SCOTUS grants a stay in the third-country removals case; clears way for Trump admin. to continue removing non-citizens without a full chance to litigate the conditions in those countries (while also taking up the full merits appeal).

I'm thrilled to share that my new book about #SCOTUS, "The Court We Need: What's Really Wrong With the Supreme Court—and How to Fix It," is now available for pre-orders: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/812983...

@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social That's possible. What I see as more & more likely is... #tRump & his allies using the #voter rolls they've been gifted by the quisling #SCOTUS to pretend they won & the cheater Dems used dead immigrants to pave way to victory Then #MikeJohnson refuses to seat duly elected Dems to retain the majority & #Fascists declare martial law I'm an election worker. I'm not happy to think about what happens next. Solidarity will be key in days to come 🕊🇵🇸

Will our institutions be intact on Nov. 4 in the United States of America? We will wake up to clear election results in most cases, but, by nightfall, the federal government, which doesn't control, administer, or decide elections, will be sowing uncertainty. They will use today's SCOTUS decision to allow them to employ the SAVE database to say, "according to our analysis, every republican that lost was due to voter identification fraud." It is too late to lawfully use the SAVE database to change administration of elections, but it will be incredibly useful to sow discord. That will allow declarations of martial law and nullification of elections. Do we have a plan for this? https://www.npr.org/2026/09/25/nx-s1-5976804/supreme-court-trump-save-noncitizen-voting #elections #USPol #SAVE #SCOTUS #MartialLaw

#BREAKING: #SCOTUS once again freezes the lower federal courts’ rulings in the Missouri redistricting case—and affirms that, as the Missouri Supreme Court held earlier this month, Missouri will use the 2022 map in the November elections. There were no public dissents.

#SCOTUS does it again. RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:nwnlnixtjh3qhkwpz2uy5uwv/post/3mwe3wijbe22g

#BREAKING: In non-Missouri emergency docket news, #SCOTUS *grants* the Trump administration's request for a stay in the SAVE case, allowing DHS to have access to certain Social Security information. The three Democratic appointees dissent.

Justice #KetanjiBrownJackson Thurs slammed #SCOTUS’ use of its “emergency docket,” suggesting the court has misused [abused] the process to allow the #Trump admin to move forward with a host of controversial policies while challenges “play out” in lower courts. SCOTUS’ emergency docket has been criticized by a wide range of legal experts who say the justices make highly consequential decisions while offering little or no explanation for their reasoning. #GiftArticle #law

Trump asks #SCOTUS to allow him to keep skirting the law.

First take: I think Justice Gorsuch reached the right outcome on the scope of § 1 of the FAA in Brock as the case was argued, but it might be the wrong outcome if we focus on Brock's status as a distributor/franchisee. For Justice Gorsuch, it's all about text; for me it's about the purpose of the § 1 exemption for workers engaged in interstate commerce. #law #contracts #FAA #arbitration #litigation #SCOTUS

I'm still wondering why the many opponents of the Trump admin do not regularly cite the amount of money it has spent in litigation in defiance of the constitution, existing law, and on appeals of the subsequent losses that they pursue all the way up to #SCOTUS. It has to be a staggering amount of taxpayer money spent on absolute & relentless lawlessness. #USPol #politics

The Eighth Circuit has ordered the district court to reinstate Missouri’s 2025 congressional map. But before folks freak out, it also ordered that court to pause such a ruling for long enough that the challengers can (and will) seek further review from #SCOTUS: s3.documentcloud.org/documents/28...
