The petition addresses a May decision from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit, which held \u201cthat the administration misinterpreted a provision of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 and that &#8230; migrants were denied bond hearings in violation of their due process rights under the U.S. Constitution\u2019s Fifth Amendment.\u201d \u201cTwo other appeals courts have endorsed the administration\u2019s policy, a fact U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer noted as he urged the justices to intervene and resolve a \u2018critically important question of immigration law\u2019 that is fueling thousands of lawsuits by people challenging their detention.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div><div><h3>Supreme Court halts order to force reporter to reveal source or pay fine<\/h3><p>Scott Nover and Julian Mark, The Washington Post<span><svg><\/svg><\/span><\/p><div><p>Late on Friday, the court \u201cstayed an order that would have forced former Fox News reporter Catherine Herridge to either disclose a confidential source or pay $800 a day in court sanctions,\u201d according to The Washington Post. Chief Justice John Roberts paused the ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit \u201cto give the Supreme Court time to consider Herridge\u2019s request for emergency relief. He gave the opposing party in the case, Chinese American scientist Yanping Chen, until Wednesday to respond.\u201d Chen alleges that Herridge \u201cbreached federal privacy law by identifying details about her in stories published beginning in 2017. Herridge refused to explain how she learned of a federal probe into Chen,\u201d and \u201cwas held in contempt of court by U.S. District Judge Christopher R. Cooper after refusing to disclose her source.\u201d The D.C. Circuit affirmed Cooper\u2019s decision.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div><h3>The Supreme Court Is Building Its Own Massive Police Force<\/h3><p>Josh Gerstein, Politico<\/p><div><p>Over the past few years, \u201cwith little fanfare, the size of the Supreme Court\u2019s police force has begun mushrooming,\u201d according to Politico. \u201cFor years, the force sat at fewer than 200 officers, but now officials are aiming to more than double the ranks of the agents and officers who protect the justices and the Supreme Court\u2019s building. The push for a rapid security buildout stems from the substantial threats to the justices at a moment of growing political violence in the U.S. and the sense that the system has just not been up to the task of keeping them safe.\u201d \u201cDuring a virtual recruiting event in April, a Supreme Court Police officer said\u201d an assassination attempt against Justice Brett Kavanaugh in 2022 \u201cled directly to the ongoing surge in security.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div><div><h3>Fear grips Haitian communities after Supreme Court ruling unwinds protection from deportation<\/h3><p>Gisela Salomon, Patrick Aftoora-Orsagos, and Claire Galofaro, Associated Press<\/p><div><p>On Thursday in <em>Mullin v. Doe<\/em>, the Supreme Court cleared the way for \u201cthe Trump administration to end legal protections for migrants fleeing violence and natural disasters in Haiti and Syria.\u201d In the wake of the decision, \u201cfear ricocheted through those communities across the United States,\u201d as about 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians who had immigration protections through the Temporary Protected Status program began preparing for possible deportation, according to the Associated Press. \u201cThey don\u2019t know if they can work, if their kids can go to school. Many are making preparations to leave their children who are U.S. citizens behind if they are sent away.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div><div><h3>Bayer\u2019s Roundup Win Brings Company New Life\u2014and Renews Breakup Speculation<\/h3><p>Patrick Thomas, The Wall Street Journal <span><svg><\/svg><\/span><\/p><div><p>Over the past decade, Bayer has faced a \u201clegal storm over Roundup weedkiller,\u201d as users sought to hold the company liable for not warning them about the alleged link between the popular product and cancer. But now, after a major Supreme Court victory, the \u201cclouds are parting,\u201d according to The Wall Street Journal. The court \u201cinsulated Bayer against claims that it failed to warn people about potential cancer risks,\u201d \u201celiminat[ing] what has been the most successful line of attack used by plaintiffs\u2019 lawyers.\u201d The ruling is expected to derail tens of thousands of ongoing cases, and it \u201calso allows Bayer to challenge courtroom verdicts it lost that haven\u2019t been finalized and paid, potentially saving the company hundreds of millions of dollars.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div><div><h3>Would Cameras Inside the Supreme Court Provide Sunshine, or a Stage?<\/h3><p>Charles Hilu, The Dispatch<span><svg><\/svg><\/span><\/p><div><p>The Senate Judiciary Committee recently advanced a bill that \u201cwould direct the Supreme Court to allow television coverage of all of its open sessions, unless a majority of justices decides that doing so in a particular case would violate the due process rights of one of the parties involved,\u201d according to The Dispatch, noting that such a move \u201chas been under discussion for decades.\u201d While proponents say the Cameras in the Courtroom Act would support \u201cthe noble goal of increasing transparency in government, those opposed fear that putting cameras in federal courtrooms would turn their proceedings into a spectacle and degrade the judiciary.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div><h2>On Site<\/h2><div><div><div><div><span>From the SCOTUSblog Team<\/span><h3>When justices wade into politics<\/h3><p>By <!-- -->Nora Collins<\/p><p>Generally, Supreme Court justices refrain from explicitly commenting on politics. That custom, however, is not a hard-and-fast rule, and over more than two centuries, justices have at times set it aside while sitting on the bench.

Lopez and Pung v. Isabella County \u2013 that look unrelated but turn on the same question: when may a state rewrite background property law to limit a constitutional right?<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div><div><div>A Closer Look<\/div><h3>The Evolution of Opinion Releases<\/h3><\/div><div><p>You might recall from a previous closer look that the busiest opinion day in Supreme Court history appears to have occurred during Chief Justice Melville Fuller\u2019s court in 1889, with 50 decisions. But how has the actual release of opinions changed over time? The answer: dramatically.<\/p><p>Throughout the 19th and into the 20th century, there was no printed text distributed to the press (or anyone else) on decision day. Rather, the justices read out their opinions in full, and reporters would then write down what they heard. Indeed, the availability of the earliest decisions was only made possible by \u201cindividuals acting solely on an entrepreneurial basis\u201d who compiled decisions and then sold the volumes for profit.<\/p><p>The first such volume was published in 1790 by Alexander Dallas. However, Dallas\u2019 work quality was inconsistent, with his four reports \u201coften characterized by omissions,\u00a0errors, and publishing delays.\u201d Dallas\u2019 fourth volume, for example, contained Supreme Court decisions issued through the August 1800 term, but was not published until 1807. The work of the court\u2019s second reporter (and nephew of President John Adams), William Cranch, involved similar delays and inaccuracies. Fortunately, under the third reporter, Henry Wheaton, timeliness and reliability improved considerably, in part because Justice Joseph Story agreed (anonymously) to give Wheaton written opinions or notes that he had prepared.<\/p><p>In 1817, Congress created a statutory, salaried (at $1,000 a year) Reporter of Decisions position for Wheaton, but even then, he was still responsible for printing costs and sold the volumes of opinions commercially. For a time, Wheaton was also the only person allowed to print and profit from the court\u2019s rulings \u2013 until the court itself decided in 1834\u2019s <em>Wheaton v. Peters<\/em> that no Reporter \u201cpossessed a copyright for its work product.\u201d With this, opinions ceased being Reporters\u2019 personal property and became the public\u2019s.<\/p><p>On March 14, 1834, the court issued an  requiring the justices to file their opinions in written form, so the justices sent their original written opinions to the Reporter, who would thensend them (having now been compiled, typed, and printed by said reporter) to the clerk for preservation once the term\u2019s volume was published. A \u201csubsequent order\u201d in 1843 then reversed the sequence (directing that opinions go <em>first<\/em> to the clerk for recording and only then to the Reporter).<\/p><p>Still, the printed text was not necessarily \u201cperfect.\u201d Through the Taney era, justices read their opinions aloud and then turned the manuscripts over to the clerk and the Reporter, but some justices kept revising these (at times substantially, such as in the <em>Dred Scott<\/em> case) in the interval before publication.<\/p><p>In 1874, Congress appropriated $25,000 to create the United States Reports as the official archive of Supreme Court opinions. The earlier reports, starting with Dallas\u2019, were retroactively numbered as volumes 1-90. With this, the U.S. government assumed responsibility for the printing and sale of the U.S. Reports, which it began publishing in 1876. But because the official bound U.S. Reports volumes lagged by years, several companies stepped in and started publishing \u201cSupreme Court Reporter\u201d series in a (relatively) more timely manner \u2013 for instance, West Publishing Company began its \u201cSupreme Court Reporter\u201d (with the unofficial opinions) with the 1882 term. That said, the Government Printing Office served and serves as the sole official publisher (with the Reporter compiling and publishing the U.S. Reports).<\/p><p>In 1935, after an Associated Press reporter inaccurately characterized a series of cases, the court finally began giving journalists full printed opinion proofs (\u201cbench opinions\u201d) as soon as the justices announced them from the bench. This new \u201chand-down\u201d protocol  that \u201cimmediately before a Justice announced a decision in the Courtroom, the Clerk of the Court directed messengers to hand copies to a small group of journalists stationed in front of the bench.\u201d The journalists would then send these copies through pneumatic tubes located near them to the press room. Chief Justice Warren Burger had the pneumatic tubes (and the reporter seats immediately in front of the bench) removed in 1971, although he had a syllabus (summary) added to each opinion when they were released,  when they were later published.<\/p><p>Starting in the 1990s, copies of opinions became electronically available the day they were announced through the court\u2019s \u201cProject Hermes.\u201d And on April 17, 2000, the Supreme Court launched its official website and began posting each opinion online within hours of its being read in the courtroom. Today, as Supreme Court watchers are well aware, such posting occurs within mere seconds of opinion announcements.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div><h2>SCOTUS Quote<\/h2><div><div><p>\u201cPolitical discourse by prominent public figures is increasingly couched in terms that would have scandalized the public just a short time ago[.]\u201d<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/americanservicereview.com\/?p=273\">When justices wade into politics<\/a><\/p><p>\u2014 Justice Samuel Alito in   (2026)<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are expecting eight opinions in argued cases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,28,22,19,5,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-277","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-advisory-opinions","category-amaricas-constitution-2","category-contributor-corner","category-divided-argument","category-from-the-scotusblog-team","category-newsletter"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
