His legal team has already  the court to reconsider its denial of his petition for review on the verdict, and the president has said that he will ask for a rehearing of <em>Trump v. Barbara<\/em>, in which the court struck down Trump\u2019s executive order seeking to restrict access to birthright citizenship. CNN investigated how common it is for the court to grant such requests, noting that \u201c[t]he last time the Supreme Court entertained a request to review a decision in an argued appeal was in 1965.\u201d \u201cIt is extremely rare for the court to grant reconsideration,\u201d said Michael Dorf, a constitutional law professor at Cornell Law School, to CNN. \u201cWhen it does so, it is typically because some vital information was not before it originally.\u201d It is also rare for the court to reconsider a decision to deny an appeal, although that has happened much more recently. About a year ago, the court \u201cgranted such relief &#8230; in a case involving a federal anti-doping law for the horseracing industry.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div><div><h3>Campaigning Democrats Amplify Calls to Overhaul Supreme Court<\/h3><p>Justin Wise and Jordan Fischer, Bloomberg Law<\/p><div><p>On the campaign trail this year, \u201cDemocratic candidates are promising to overhaul the Supreme Court and embracing bolder positions &#8230; than the lawmakers they\u2019d replace\u2014a sign of how angry the left is about the direction of the conservative-dominated court,\u201d according to Bloomberg Law. \u201cWhile calls for change intensified as the biggest decisions landed this spring, it remains to be seen if that new enthusiasm will actually help propel legislation to add justices or institute a binding ethics code should Democrats retake Congress.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div><div><h3>1 year after Supreme Court limited use of nationwide injunctions, groups challenging Trump see shifting legal landscape<\/h3><p>Melissa Quinn, CBS News<\/p><div><p>Last year, in <em>Trump v.

As SCOTUSblog contributor Anastasia Boden noted in a review for The Dispatch of journalist Jesse Wegman\u2019s new book on Wilson, he was a \u201cFounder worth remembering\u201d (at the very least, in our eyes, because he was the first and only justice to be jailed while on the bench).<\/p><p>Wilson was born on a small farm near St. Andrews, Scotland, in September 1742. Wilson left for the University of St. Andrews at 15 on a scholarship, where he learned about the Scottish Enlightenment and was \u201cdeeply influenced\u201d by the idea that humans can \u201cintuit self-evident truths about the world through their common sense and experience.\u201d Although he never returned to Scotland after 1765, as one historian put it, \u201cit never left him.\u201d<\/p><p>At 23, Wilson traveled to Philadelphia to start his first job teaching at the College of Philadelphia, but soon traded it for law, apprenticing under John Dickinson (another future founder). In 1774, Wilson published a pamphlet that rejected Parliament\u2019s authority over the colonies, although he believed consent of the governed was best exercised by a \u201cvirtuous\u201d (and propertied) few. In 1775, Wilson was elected as a delegate to the First Continental Congress, cast Pennsylvania\u2019s vote for independence in Congress on July 2, 1776, and apparently spoke more often than every delegate but one at the Constitutional Convention. He also helped produce the first draft of the Constitution. Wilson is credited with changing an early draft of the Constitution\u2019s preamble from \u201cThe People of the States&#8230;\u201d to \u201cWe the People.\u201d<\/p><p>Passed over by President George Washington for the chief justiceship \u2013 first when the post went to John Jay in 1789 and again in March 1796 \u2013 Wilson accepted an associate seat and was confirmed by the Senate two days after his nomination in September 1789 as an inaugural member of the court. The six-justice body heard just nine cases during his eight years on the bench, making Wilson\u2019s time on it \u201cnot especially noteworthy,\u201d although while riding circuit he was \u201cone of the first justices to exercise judicial review when he refused a petition to hear a case about a veteran\u2019s pension,\u201d reasoning \u201cthat this issue was not an issue the courts had jurisdiction over.\u201d Wilson wrote 20 total pages of opinions during his court tenure and spent  riding circuit than sitting on the Supreme Court.<\/p><p>Wilson\u2019s defining opinion came in 1793\u2019s <em>Chisholm v. Georgia<\/em>, a case brought by the estate of a merchant who had supplied a Georgia regiment with supplies during the Revolution and died waiting to be repaid \u2013 the question being, in effect, whether a state could be sued by a citizen of another state. In his opinion (the justices wrote in \u201cseriatim\u201d opinions at the time), Wilson reasoned that America recognized \u201ccitizens, but no subjects,\u201d and that the states had surrendered their immunity to the people\u2019s \u201ccollective sovereignty,\u201d meaning citizens could sue states other than their own. This proved short-lived: the 11th Amendment was passed within two years, effectively undoing the ruling.<\/p><p>Wilson was less impressive when it came to his personal finances. He sank a fortune \u2013 by some estimates, interests in more than a million acres \u2013 into land speculation. When the Panic of 1796\u201397 struck, his debts came due \u2013 an almost $200,000 bill. He was jailed in a debtor\u2019s prison in Philadelphia, then again in Burlington, New Jersey, before fleeing south, writing to his lawyer that he had \u201cbeen hunted \u2013 I may be hunted \u2013 like a wild beast.\u201d He was bailed out by his son and promptly asked in 1797 for the southern circuit \u2013 despite it being the most trying of circuits to ride \u2013 supposedly in order to escape his creditors. Even his own son\u2019s schooling bore Wilson\u2019s financial chaos: Enrolled at the College of Philadelphia, Bird Wilson attended tuition-free while his father simultaneously became the school\u2019s largest debtor.<\/p><p>While staying with fellow Justice James Iredell, Wilson died of a stroke at a tavern in North Carolina in August 1798, having come down with malaria. He was 55, and his death went unpublicized. In 1906, prompted by President Theodore Roosevelt, Wilson\u2019s remains were disinterred and reburied at Philadelphia\u2019s Christ Church \u2014 a plot that sits alongside other founders such as Benjamin Franklin, as well as just a \u201cshort walk\u201d from the grave of one of his creditors, fellow founding father Pierce Butler.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div><h2>SCOTUS Quote<\/h2><div><div><p>JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR: \u201cAnd you don&#8217;t think that if \u2013 have you ever had soap in your eye, that somebody threw the soap in to cause you pain intentionally?
