With nitrogen gas blocked, Alabama seeks to execute inmate by lethal injection<\/h3>

Ralph Chapoco, Alabama Reflector<\/p>

In a Friday filing with the Alabama Supreme Court, the Alabama Attorney General\u2019s Office asked for \u201can expedited motion to set a new execution date for Jeffery Lee,\u201d according to the Alabama Reflector. Lee had been scheduled to be executed with nitrogen gas on Thursday, but a federal district court barred the state from using that execution method, holding that it violated the Eighth Amendment\u2019s ban on cruel and unusual punishment. On Thursday night, the Supreme Court declined to stay or vacate that ruling and allow the execution to proceed. Now, the state seeks to put Lee to death by lethal injection. In his challenge to nitrogen gas execution, Lee indicated that he would prefer to die by firing squad.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Appeals court says U.S. government can keep collecting 10% tariffs for now<\/h3>

Paul Wiseman, Associated Press<\/p>

On Thursday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled that the Trump administration \u201ccan continue collecting the 10% worldwide tariff it imposed in February\u201d \u2013 after the Supreme Court struck down tariffs imposed under a differently authority \u2013 while challenges to the new \u201clevies continue to work their way through the courts,\u201d according to the Associated Press. Challengers contend that the administration did not have the authority to impose the new tariffs under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, which \u201cis aimed at what it calls \u2018fundamental international payments problems.\u2019\u201d They say this doesn\u2019t cover \u201ctrade deficits,\u201d as the Trump administration has asserted. \u201cA split three-judge panel of the specialized Court of International Trade … found the 10% global tariffs were illegal,\u201d but the Federal Circuit has put that decision on hold. The Section 122 tariffs \u201care set to expire July 24.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div>

ICE\u2019s detention policy won at the 5th Circuit. Then judges found another way to reject it.<\/h3>

Jessie Blaeser and Kyle Cheney, Politico<\/svg><\/span><\/p>

In February, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit allowed ICE \u201cto detain \u2013 without bond \u2013 thousands of immigrants with established roots in the U.S.\u201d But that ruling has not turned out to be as significant as it, at first, appeared to be, according to Politico. Since February, \u201c[j]udges bound by the appeals court\u2019s holding have overwhelmingly continued to reject ICE\u2019s detention policy. Instead of labeling the policy a violation of [federal immigration] law \u2013 an interpretation taken off the table by the 5th Circuit decision \u2013 those judges have concluded that ICE has violated detainees\u2019 constitutional due process rights, a distinct violation that the appeals court didn\u2019t address.\u201d Politico noted that federal courts of appeals have split over ICE\u2019s detention policy, which \u201chas put the issue on a likely path to the Supreme Court.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div>

GOP senators have no backup plan if Supreme Court kills Trump\u2019s birthright citizenship order<\/h3>

Alex Swoyer, The Washington Times<\/p>

In his Seen, Heard and Whispered column for The Washington Times, Alex Swoyer reported that Republican senators currently have no plans to push a bill ending birthright citizenship if the Supreme Court rules against President Donald Trump on the issue. \u201cThere\u2019s no conversation up here, there is none,\u201d said Sen. Rick Scott, chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, to Swoyer, adding that \u201che is unaware of a single discussion about what to do with the birthright immigration issue.\u201d During oral argument in the birthright citizenship case on April 1, the \u201cjustices appeared skeptical of the administration\u2019s arguments, and the president has indicated he expects to lose the case.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Assessing Non-Packing Rationales For Increasing the Size of the Supreme Court<\/h3>

Ilya Somin, The Volokh Conspiracy, Reason<\/p>

In a post for Reason\u2019s Volokh Conspiracy blog, Ilya Somin assessed what he described as the \u201crelatively weak\u201d arguments in favor of adding justices to the Supreme Court that are distinct from court packing (adding justices to shift the ideological balance of the court) but that he fears would still risk triggering \u201cthe slippery slope escalation caused by court-packing.\u201d Specifically, he explored expanding the court so that the number of justices matches the number of appellate circuit courts (13) and expanding it to enable the court to decide more cases each term. He noted that it may be possible to add justices without changing the ideological balance of the court \u2013 by, for example, having both the party that controls the White House and the party that does not choose the same number of new justices \u2013 but concluded that \u201cwe probably don’t need to expand the size of the court to achieve various other improvements in the Court’s work product.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Justices reject private suits to enforce investor protections against investment companies<\/h3>

By Ronald Mann<\/p>

On Thursday, a sharply divided court rejected the efforts of investors to sue an investment company to rescind a contract that appears to violate the Investment Company Act of 1940, concluding that only the SEC may bring such a suit. Although the argument suggested considerable sympathy for the investors\u2019 suit, in the end the justices, as they so often have in recent years, refused to \u201cimply\u201d a private right of action not explicitly written into federal law.<\/p><\/div>

A Closer Look<\/div>

The Most Opinions Released in One Day<\/h3><\/div>

One question we get asked fairly frequently on our live blogs for opinion announcements is \u201cWhat is the most opinions the court has ever released on a single day?\u201d We\u2019re not sure if this comes from a place of curiosity or schadenfreude for us here at SCOTUSblog (any more than four opinions released in a day makes for a very long evening), but either way we thought this topic would make for a good Closer Look. Although our research is not quite definitive, the answer appears to be 50 decisions, which were released by Chief Justice Melville Fuller\u2019s court on May 13, 1889.<\/p>

First, some background on identifying the dates of each opinion\u2019s release. Although opinion release dates are now consistently documented in the U.S. Reports (where the opinions of the Supreme Court are officially published) and in contemporaneous media coverage (such as SCOTUSblog\u2019s), earlier \u201crelease dates\u201d are not always so easy to establish.<\/p>

As Steve Vladeck has explained, the date of a decision beneath its case name in the first 107 volumes of the U.S. Reports, which leaves a gap concerning the court\u2019s decisions between 1791 and 1882. Fortunately, in 2006, Anne Ashmore from the Supreme Court Library published the Supreme Court\u2019s \u201c,\u201d after the missing dates from handwritten , or records of the court\u2019s daily proceedings, held at the National Archives.<\/p>

As mentioned, the busiest opinion day in Supreme Court history (as measured by the number of opinions released) appears to have occurred during Fuller\u2019s first term on Monday, May 13, 1889. The Washington Post\u2019s \u201cCourt Record\u201d column , provides this number of cases decided that day along with motions denied or granted, cases dismissed, and administrative orders from the chief justice. Of the many opinions which came down, New Orleans v. Gaines\u2019 Administrator<\/em> and Chae Chan Ping v. United States<\/em> received the most media coverage.<\/p>

In Gaines\u2019 Administrator<\/em>, the court awarded the estate of Myra Clark Gaines approximately $576,000 from the city of New Orleans, which had sold property Gaines argued she inherited as her father, Daniel Clark\u2019s, legitimate heir. Clark was, apparently, Gaines\u2019 father by a secret marriage. \u201cThis case probably has been the most interesting, the hardest contested, and the most prolonged known to the judicial history of this country. \u2026 [The] secret marriage formed the axis on which the litigation revolved and the case was fought with bitterness by both sides,\u201d The Washington Post the following day. The case is, to date, one of the longest-running civil suits in U.S. history; it lasted 57 years and had 17 court filings at the Supreme Court.<\/p>

In Chae Chan Ping<\/em>, better known as the Chinese Exclusion case, the court upheld the Scott Act of 1888, which barred Chinese laborers from re-entering the U.S. after visiting China even if they had valid work certificates, stating that Congress had the power to exclude foreign nationals.<\/p>

Returning to the number of opinions, a release of 50 opinions was actually not a total anomaly in the late 19th and early 20th century (e.g., there were 49 opinions on March 4, 1895; 47 on March 2, 1896; and 45 on March 2, 1925).<\/p>

That said, these opinion \u201creleases\u201d occurred in a very different format than they do today. In the 19th century and well into the 20th, justices announced their opinions aloud from the bench, but there was no printed text distributed to the press on decision day. Reporters sitting in the courtroom took notes as the justices spoke, which is how the newspaper accounts of decisions like the Post’s detailed “Court Record” column were likely compiled; the court also did not officially publish its decisions, meaning they were instead published by private reporters who then vended the publications for profit (look for a future Closer Look on this).<\/p>

Additionally, the length of the 50 individual opinions varied greatly; five opinions were around 1-2 pages, nine others were roughly 3-5 pages, and 16 were 6-10 pages (these numbers are approximated from the start pages in the U.S. Reports via the Supreme Court Database). Also of note: the court did not have discretion over its docket until 1925 (another future Closer Look!), so they were taking many<\/em> more cases (252 cases in 1889, per the SCDB).<\/p>

By way of comparison, on Feb. 21, 2018, Supreme Court reporter (and recent Advisory Opinions guest) Nina Totenberg wrote a story with the headline, \u201cSupreme Court Gets Moving, Issuing As Many Decisions In One Day As It Has In 5 Months.\u201d That Wednesday, the court issued four decisions.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

SCOTUS Quote<\/h2>

\u201cThe classic criticism of using legislative history [to help decide cases] is that it is \u2018the equivalent of entering a crowded cocktail party and looking over the heads of the guests for one\u2019s friends.\u2019 True to form, the dissent navigates around unwelcome guests.\u201d<\/p>
