Though the theory has been fashionable for decades, the court\u2019s conservative supermajority has embraced it with new fervor, sending attorneys scrambling for historical nuggets that once were more useful for Trivial Pursuit.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div><div><h3>Texas death row inmate asks Supreme Court to allow appeal challenging hypnotized witness<\/h3><p>Ayden Runnels, The Texas Tribune<\/p><div><p>At their private conference on Thursday, the justices will consider a petition for review from Charles Don Flores, who \u201cwas sentenced to death in 1999 for the robbery and murder of 64-year-old Betty Black\u201d in Texas. At Flores\u2019 trial, \u201cprosecutors leaned on the testimony of Jill Barganier,\u201d whom investigators hypnotized in hopes of improving her description of what she saw the day Black was killed. In his petition, Flores contends \u201cthat Barganier\u2019s recollection was improperly influenced\u201d by the hypnosis session and that he has a right to challenge his conviction under a Texas law that \u201callows inmates to challenge convictions that relied on now-debunked science or procedures,\u201d according to The Texas Tribune.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div><h3>US Refunds $22 Billion in Tariffs, Offsetting Customs Revenue<\/h3><p>Daniel Flatley and Laura Curtis, Bloomberg<span><svg><\/svg><\/span><\/p><div><p>In May, the U.S. Treasury \u201crefunded nearly $22 billion in tariff revenue,\u201d as it began making repayments after \u201cthe Supreme Court struck down a major component of President Donald Trump\u2019s trade policy,\u201d according to Bloomberg. Treasury Department data for the month shows that the refund amount \u201cwas roughly equal to tariffs taken in during\u201d May, \u201cmeaning that refunds essentially canceled out the government\u2019s duties revenue.\u201d Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said last week that the administration expects tariff revenue to increase later this year to levels seen when the now-invalidated tariffs were in place once planned replacement tariffs \u2013 which are being &#8220;imposed using other authorities&#8221; \u2013 are fully implemented.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div><h3>How a coming Supreme Court decision on mail-in ballots could impact California<\/h3><p>Sophie Brams, The Hill<\/p><div><p>The Supreme Court will soon decide <em>Watson v. Republican National Committee<\/em>, a case on \u201cwhether states can accept mail-in ballots that arrive after election.\u201d The ruling \u201ccould invalidate the so-called grace period in places like California,\u201d which counts ballots that arrive at secure drop-off locations by 8 p.m. on Election Day or are postmarked by Election Day and arrive by the following Tuesday, and it \u201cwill come after enormous attention was paid across the country to the results in both the California governor\u2019s contest and the battle for mayor of Los Angeles,\u201d according to The Hill. Although the \u201cdecision would likely have no bearing on those races because they are state and local and not federal,\u201d \u201cit could have consequences for U.S. House races in the fall,\u201d if states like California are required to \u201cchange their vote-counting rules.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div><div><h3>A Year After Supreme Court Decision, Kid Lit Creators are Buoyed by Community<\/h3><p>Kara Yorio, School Library Journal<\/p><div><p>Last year, the court in <em>Mahmoud v. Taylor<\/em> allowed religious parents to opt their children out of school lessons involving books that highlight LGBTQ+ themes. The decision disappointed the authors and illustrators of the challenged books, but it also \u201ccreated a steadfast community of authors and illustrators not only committed to supporting each other and fighting censorship, but continuing to create books with LGBTQIA+ characters,\u201d according to the School Library Journal, which noted that the creators call their community the \u201cSCOTUS Book Club.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div><h2>On Site<\/h2><div><div><div><div><span>From the SCOTUSblog Team<\/span><h3>When must justices recuse themselves over family members\u2019 acts?<\/h3><p>By <!-- -->Kelsey Dallas<\/p><p>Late last month, the news site NOTUS reignited the perennial debate about Supreme Court recusals when it reported that Justice Samuel Alito\u2019s son, Philip Alito, is working as a lawyer in the Treasury Department.

Moore<\/h3><\/div><div><p>At their private conference on Thursday, the justices are scheduled to consider a petition for review from the oldest active federal judge in the United States, who has been fighting for more than three years to regain her ability to hear and decide cases. Judge Pauline Newman, 98, was suspended by her colleagues on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in 2023 over her refusal to provide medical records and undergo testing related to her mental fitness, and she is urging the Supreme Court to clear the way for her suspension to be reviewed in federal court.<\/p><p>Even before the suspension saga began, Newman was a prominent figure in the legal world. She \u201chelped create the Federal Circuit in 1982\u201d and went on to become its \u201cgreat dissenter,\u201d dissenting nearly 300 times in patent cases over her four decades of service, \u201cmore than three times as often as the next-closest judge on the court,\u201d according to The Washington Post, which cited a 2017 study on her work.<\/p><p>Newman contends that those dissents helped motivate her suspension, which she characterizes as a form of \u201cbullying\u201d in her petition for review. But her colleagues, including Federal Circuit Chief Judge Kimberly Moore,  that the investigation into Newman\u2019s fitness for service and subsequent suspension stem, instead, from concerns about how long it was taking her to complete opinions, her behavior with staff members, and signs of paranoia and memory loss.<\/p><p>In May 2023, while the investigation was in its initial stages, Newman filed the federal lawsuit that led to the petition now before the Supreme Court. She contended that the Judicial Council of the Federal Circuit had violated her due process rights by refusing her request for another circuit to conduct the investigation, that the council had exceeded its authority, and that the statute allowing for judges to be suspended from hearing cases was facially unconstitutional and unconstitutional as applied to her.<\/p><p>A federal district court in Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit held that the Judicial Councils Reform and Judicial Conduct and Disability Act of 1980 barred them from reviewing most of Newman\u2019s claims and rejected the remaining ones. Specifically, they pointed to the Disability\u2019s Act\u2019s section on judicial review, which states that a \u201cjudge aggrieved by an action of the judicial council &#8230; may petition the Judicial Conference of the United States for review,\u201d but that \u201corders and determinations\u201d made in the proceedings \u201cshall not be judicially reviewable.\u201d<\/p><p>In her  to the Supreme Court, Newman contends that the D.C. Circuit misinterpreted the Disability Act\u2019s restrictions on judicial review and applied them too broadly. \u201cNothing\u201d in the act, according to Newman, \u201cpurports to prevent litigants from seeking\u201d forward-looking relief that would, for example, bar a judicial council from extending an existing suspension, and the act also doesn\u2019t prevent review of decisions that the council never had the authority to make in the first place. The Judicial Council of the Federal Circuit\u2019s suspension orders amount to such a decision, Newman asserts, because the council \u201ceffectively remov[ed] her from office despite the life tenure promised by Article III.\u201d<\/p><p>Newman points to \u201cthree expert evaluations\u201d showing that she has \u201cthe mental ability of someone decades younger,\u201d and notes that, less than three months before \u201cMoore began pressuring her to resign\u201d over her alleged mental deterioration, she penned a \u201ccharacteristically excellent\u201d dissent that the Supreme Court later drew on \u201cwhen it reversed the Federal Circuit\u201d in a case on veterans\u2019 education benefits. Newman urges the Supreme Court to step in and allow judicial review of her claims. As it stands, according to Newman, \u201c[e]very judge who gets crosswise with her chief judge or her colleagues must now worry whether similar tactics could be used to remove them.\u201d<\/p><p>In their  to Newman\u2019s petition, which was filed by U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer and which is partially redacted, Moore, the two other members of the special committee that investigated Newman, and the Judicial Council of the Federal Circuit assert that the petition fails the Supreme \u201cCourt\u2019s criteria for review many times over,\u201d in large part because it raises claims that were not \u201cadequately pressed or passed upon below.\u201d The brief further argues that the claims find no support in the text of the Disability Act, which \u201cbroadly provides that \u2018<em>all<\/em> orders and determinations\u2019 by a judicial council or the Judicial Conference \u2018shall not be judicially reviewable on appeal <em>or otherwise<\/em>.\u2019\u201d \u201c\u2018All\u2019 means all,\u201d Sauer wrote, and the petition \u201cshould be denied.\u201d<\/p><p><em>Newman v.
