Over no public dissents, #SCOTUS *denies* Trump administration's application for a stay in the immigration judges case (about whether the dispute should be in a district court or before the Merit Systems Protection Board).
It's the Trump administration's first real loss at #SCOTUS since April.

The President of the United States has the exact same power to pardon a state-court conviction that you or I have—which is to say, none.
Maybe this new blog can respond, in one of its first posts, to the argument that the term “interim docket” is a deliberately misleading attempt to minimize the (very permanent) doctrinal and real-world consequences of #SCOTUS’s rulings on emergency applications?

#SCOTUS adds 4 cases to its docket, including one (but not both) of the birthright citizenship cases.

The Trump administration has filed its 32nd emergency application with #SCOTUS, this one seeking to freeze a Fourth Circuit ruling in a dispute over whether district courts can hear challenges to limits on what immigration judges are allowed to say publicly:
