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."
Looking at this case, holy shit. The city councilman basically embezzled a million dollars and gave it to some guy's truck dealership. The truck dealers then gave him a cheque thanking him for embezzling the million dollars.
And the supreme court just said "yeah that's fine"
