As a reminder for those who are members here, we only cover Supreme Court affairs. We will not be covering the New York verdict that has been announced. We will be covering the Presidential Immunity case when it is decided by the Supreme Court.

Happy Thursday everyone.

It’s another opinion day at the Supreme Court. There are still dozens of outstanding cases for the justices to decide, involving guns, abortion, Presidential Immunity, etc. Justices will convene at 10amET to hand down opinions. We will bring you them as soon as they are available on the website.
