The first, but not last, decision is in Murthy v. Missouri. Barrett has the 6-3 decision, reversing the 5th Circuit and holding that the plaintiffs lack standing in the case against Biden admin's social media outreach. Alito dissents, w Thomas & Gorsuch. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23p...

The final SCOTUS decision today is Snyder v. US. Kavanaugh has the court's 6-3 decision on ideological grounds, holding that the Section 666 bribery statute does not apply to "gratuities" given for public officials' *past* acts. Jackson writes the liberals' dissent.

Jackson, spitting fire: "Snyder’s absurd and atextual reading of the statute is one only today’s Court could love." Of federalism concerns: "[W]oulds, coulds, and shoulds of this nature must be addressed across the street with Congress, not in the pages of the U. S. Reports."
