Corner Post is first, party-line case judicially extending the statute of limitations for APA challenges out to the heat death of the universe. Barrett writes, Jackson dissents. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23p...

From Jackson’s dissent. I believe the way this works in combination with Loper-Bright is really insidious, but ofc it’s not gonna get the headlines.

2nd up is Netchoice—the judgments are unanimously vacated and sent back. Kagan writes with 6 joiners (though Jackson skips a few parts). Several conservatives pen concurrences in the judgment. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23p...

So Trump will be the last case of the term. We’ll know soon enough, but I’m guessing Roberts wrote it.

Roberts rules for Trump. Absolute immunity for “official acts.” Vacated and remanded. Party line case. Both Sotomayor and Jackson dissent. Fuck this. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23p...

Okay, it’s absolute immunity for official acts that are “within [the president’s] exclusive and preclusive authority” and presumptive immunity for all official acts. Corrupting the DOJ — absolute immunity (which boggles my mind). Pressuring Pence — presumptive immunity.

taking top secret documents home as souvenirs? showing them off to random people at his country club?

Those happened after his term was up, so they'll have to rely on Cannon to deep six those charges.

Making a correction to the previous skeet: I have been informed that part of this crime actually happened WHILE he was still President, so, uh, he definitely held onto the classified information for non-official reasons and refused to give it back but it's going to be very easy for Cannon here.
