Jean Carroll is paid $5.6 million in Trump sex abuse and defamation case<\/h3><p>Jennifer Peltz, Associated Press<\/p><div><p>On Monday, two weeks after the Supreme Court declined to hear President Donald Trump\u2019s appeal of a $5 million jury verdict entered against him in a sexual abuse and defamation case filed by E. Jean Carroll, Carroll collected that payment, plus interest, according to court records and her legal team. Trump\u2019s lawyers had attempted to block the payment and are now working to reverse it as they await word from the justices on whether the court will grant their , which was filed last week. The Associated Press noted that \u201cTrump is also appealing $83 million in defamation compensation granted to Carroll by a separate Manhattan jury after a 2024 trial where Trump briefly testified.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div><div><h3>Kagan reflects on Graham\u2019s role in her Supreme Court confirmation<\/h3><p>Sophie Brams, The Hill<\/p><div><p>Before both the House and Senate subcommittees, \u201cJustice Elena Kagan honored late Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Tuesday, remembering the South Carolina Republican as a \u2018vivid\u2019 personality who helped secure her confirmation to the Supreme Court,\u201d according to The Hill. \u201cThe senator was one of five Republicans who voted for Kagan, a liberal nominated by former President Obama, to join the high court in 2010.\u201d Kagan, \u201cwho is Jewish, recalled a \u2018funny\u2019 moment during her confirmation hearing in which Graham asked her where she was on Christmas.\u201d \u201cI think Al Franken said he was the funniest man in the Senate,\u201d Kagan said. \u201cBut what I remember about that hearing was that somehow Senator Graham made me look funny, which is a harder thing entirely. &#8230; I\u2019ll skip the back and forth, but many people said to me afterwards that exchange with Senator Graham was the moment my confirmation was sealed.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div><div><h3>Tariff refunds push US June budget deficit to $120 billion<\/h3><p>David Lawder, Reuters<span><svg><\/svg><\/span><\/p><div><p>The U.S. Treasury Department announced on Monday that \u201c[g]rowing refunds from President Donald Trump\u2019s tariffs,\u201d which were struck down by the Supreme Court in February, \u201cpushed the June federal budget deficit to $120 billion.\u201d All told, $49.2 billion in refunds were paid out in June, according to Reuters, adding to approximately \u201c$22 billion returned in May.\u201d That $71 billion represents \u201c42% of the $166 billion \u2026 subject to refunds.\u201d Reuters noted that the Trump administration\u2019s tariff \u201cagenda is in flux as a temporary 10% global tariff is due to expire on July 24 and the administration prepares new duties over what it sees as lax enforcement of anti-forced labor laws and excess industrial capacity.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div><div><h3>4 Takeaways From the Supreme Court&#8217;s 2025\u20132026 Term<\/h3><p>Damon Root, Reason<\/p><div><p>In his Injustice System newsletter for Reason, Damon Root outlined what he believes are the key takeaways from the Supreme Court\u2019s 2025-26 term. Among other conclusions, Root contended that the court\u2019s ruling in <em>Trump v. Slaughter<\/em>, giving presidents the power to \u201cremove the current heads of \u2018independent\u2019 federal agencies at will,\u201d amounts to a major \u201clong-term victory for the executive branch.\u201d Moving forward, he wrote, it will enable \u201cpresidents from both parties &#8230; to remake the federal bureaucracy in their own respective images.\u201d Root further argued that the term showed us that \u201c[t]he current Supreme Court majority is undoubtedly a very conservative one,\u201d but not a MAGA majority. \u201c[I]f this really was the Trump Court, rather than the Court led (mostly) by Chief Justice John Roberts,\u201d Root wrote, \u201cwhy didn\u2019t Trump win the two cases that he clearly wanted most desperately to win?\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div><div><h3>The See-No-Evil Supreme Court<\/h3><p>Adam Serwer, The Atlantic <span><svg><\/svg><\/span><\/p><div><p>In a column for The Atlantic, Adam Serwer argued that \u201c[a]cross multiple cases dealing with voting and immigration, a consistent theme has emerged from the Roberts Court\u2019s jurisprudence: a determination to ignore, rationalize, or misrepresent the explicit animus of government officials\u2014and the president in particular\u2014toward the groups that have been targeted,\u201d including \u201cimmigrants and ethnic minorities.\u201d According to Serwer, this approach appears to have been \u201cinvented for a president who regularly says racist things. If the justices ruled against him every time he did so, a lot of right-wing policies wouldn\u2019t be upheld. So the statements must be ignored or rationalized.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div><h2>On Site<\/h2><div><div><div><div><span>Court News<\/span><h3>Justices Kagan and Barrett testify before Congress<\/h3><p>By <!-- -->Amy Howe<\/p><p>In the first appearances by members of the Supreme Court before Congress in seven years, Justices Elena Kagan and Amy Coney Barrett testified on Tuesday in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Barbara <\/em>down for me?:<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>\u201cRoberts, C.J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which Sotomayor, Kagan, Barrett, and Jackson, JJ., joined. Jackson, J., filed a concurring opinion, in which Sotomayor, J., joined as to the introduction and Part I. Kavanaugh, J., filed an opinion concurring in the judgment and dissenting in part. Thomas, J., filed a dissenting opinion, in which Gorsuch, J., joined. Alito, J., and Gorsuch, J., filed dissenting opinions.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><p>A: These can be thorny indeed \u2013 and this particular line-up is not nearly as complicated as some others can get. But, yes, let\u2019s break it down.<\/p><p>\u201cRoberts, C.J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which Sotomayor, Kagan, Barrett, and Jackson, JJ., joined.\u201d This means that Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the opinion for the majority of the court \u2013 here, striking down President Donald Trump\u2019s executive order ending birthright citizenship as unconstitutional. Four justices \u2013 Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, Amy Coney Barrett, and Ketanji Brown Jackson \u2013 signed on to his opinion in full.<\/p><p>\u201cJackson, J., filed a concurring opinion, in which Sotomayor, J., joined as to the introduction and Part I.\u201d This means that Jackson, although she signed on to the Roberts opinion, also wrote a separate opinion, in which she responded to some of the arguments made by Justice Clarence Thomas in his dissenting opinion (more on this below). Sotomayor did not sign on to all of Jackson\u2019s opinion. Instead, she joined only the introduction \u2013 the first paragraph \u2013 and Part I, but not the second half of that opinion, which contained a broader criticism of the court\u2019s recent 14th amendment rulings.<\/p><p>\u201cKavanaugh, J., filed an opinion concurring in the judgment and dissenting in part.\u201d This is perhaps the key separate opinion of the case. \u201cConcurring in the judgment\u201d means that Kavanaugh agreed with the\u00a0<em>result<\/em>\u00a0that the majority reached \u2013 that the executive order could not stand \u2013 but not its\u00a0<em>reasoning<\/em>. In his view, Trump\u2019s executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship did not violate the Constitution (hence, the \u201cdissenting in part\u201d), but it was inconsistent with a federal law providing for birthright citizenship. If you are counting votes for this case, it means that the court divided 6-3 on the question of whether to strike down the executive order, but 5-4 on the question of whether the order was constitutional.<\/p><p>\u201cThomas, J., filed a dissenting opinion, in which Gorsuch, J., joined. Alito, J., and Gorsuch, J., filed dissenting opinions.\u201d Thomas and Justices Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch disagreed with the result that the majority reached: they would have allowed the order to stand. Each wrote a dissenting opinion of his own, and Gorsuch joined Thomas\u2019 opinion (although Thomas did not join Gorsuch\u2019s). Alito also wrote alone.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div><h2>SCOTUS Quote<\/h2><div><div><p>\u201cThere are definitely issues with respect to the emergency \u2013 we call it the emergency docket.
