Senator Whitehouse aims to keep Supreme Court ethics conversation alive with term limits bill<\/h3>

Benjamin S. Weiss, Courthouse News Service<\/p>

In an interview with Courthouse News Service, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, a Democrat from Rhode Island, defended his decision to \u201creintroduce a bill that would set term limits for justices of the U.S. Supreme Court\u201d and that is \u201chighly unlikely\u201d to become law while Republicans control the House, Senate, and White House. He said \u201chis bill was less about legislative outcomes and more about keeping the issue of term limits top of mind for the American public.\u201d Whitehouse\u2019s bill, if passed as written, \u201cwould, among other things, introduce staggered, 18-year term limits for new justices appointed to the bench. … Under the law, only the nine most junior justices on the bench would rule on cases \u2013 and after a term of 18 years, a justice would be deemed retired.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div>

U.S. Secret Service official: \u2018Threat environment is the highest we\u2019ve ever seen\u2019<\/h3>

Dan Mangan, CNBC<\/p>

On Wednesday, a senior U.S. Secret Service official told reporters during a background briefing \u201cthat the \u2018threat environment\u2019 for the agency\u2019s protectees, who include President Donald Trump, \u2018is the highest we\u2019ve ever seen,\u2019\u201d according to CNBC. \u201cThere have been about 10,000 cases involving threats to government officials, including Supreme Court justices, so far in 2026,\u201d per the official. \u201cThat represents a 40% increase in such cases over the same period last year.\u201d CNBC noted that Wednesday\u2019s briefing came just a week after \u201cJustice Amy Coney Barrett told a House subcommittee that the threat level to her and other federal judges \u2018is really high.\u2019\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Supreme Court faces scrutiny over potential \u2018loopholes\u2019 in prediction markets policy<\/h3>

John Fritze, CNN<\/p>

While testifying with Justice Elena Kagan before a Senate subcommittee on July 14, \u201cJustice Amy Coney Barrett had a fast answer when she was asked … if the Supreme Court had done anything to address the meteoric rise of prediction markets \u2013 and the ethical predicament they present for the judiciary,\u201d according to CNN. \u201cThat\u2019s already covered,\u201d Barrett said, and her response was echoed by Kagan. But their comments \u201cdid little to quiet a growing pressure campaign to push the high court to explicitly ban employees from trading on sites like Kalshi and Polymarket \u2013 where users can bet on everything from the outcome of specific appeals to whether \u2018any Supreme Court justice will be charged\u2019 with a federal crime.\u201d \u201cIt is vitally important that the American public have trust in the courts, and taking further action to create a clear standard is critical to regaining that trust,\u201d wrote Sen. Chris Van Hollen, a Democrat from Maryland, in a letter he sent to the Supreme Court on Tuesday.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Trump\u2019s Trade Negotiator Doubles Down on Tariffs Before Global Duties Expire<\/h3>

Ana Swanson, The New York Times<\/svg><\/span><\/p>

During a Wednesday appearance before Congress, Jamieson Greer, the U.S. trade representative, told lawmakers \u201cthat a \u2018national emergency\u2019 on trade persisted and that the administration remained intent on using tariffs to transform the economy,\u201d according to The New York Times. After the Supreme Court struck down tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act in February, \u201c[t]he specific authorities this administration is using have changed, but the trade strategy has not,\u201d Greer said. \u201cWe are committed to continuing to use tariffs and to negotiate deals to support the reindustrialization of our economy, protect American workers and increase their wages and shrink our trade deficit.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The live blog comments that stuck with us<\/h3>

By Nora Collins<\/p>

One of SCOTUSblog\u2019s most popular features is our live blogging during major oral arguments and opinion hand down days. We thought it might help relieve the summer doldrums to dig out some of the best lines posted in live blogs during the 2025-26 term.<\/p><\/div>

The case for Callais<\/h3>

By Brian Fitzpatrick<\/p>

In his AV Ristorante column, Brian Fitzpatrick defended Louisiana v. Callais, in which the court held that Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act could not be used to require Louisiana to consider skin color when it drew its voting districts. Fitzpatrick also reflected more broadly on why it is controversial in academia to hold such a view.<\/p><\/div>

A Closer Look<\/div>

Checking in on the Justices\u2019 Summers <\/h3><\/div>

A few Closer Looks ago, we revisited Justice Elena Kagan\u2019s 2024 observation that, because of the emergency docket, the court\u2019s summers had stopped resembling summers. We wondered whether this year would break the pattern. The results so far? Too soon to say.<\/p>

Read more The live blog comments that stuck with us<\/a><\/p>

As SCOTUSblog readers are likely aware, the largest departure from the traditional summer lull came on July 14, when Kagan and Justice Amy Coney Barrett appeared before the House of Representatives and the Senate \u2013 marking the first time members of the court had testified before Congress since 2019. As Amy wrote about, the occasion was the court\u2019s fiscal request to help fund security, with Barrett telling the House panel that the threat level facing her and other federal judges \u201cis really high.\u201d<\/p>

The same evening, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson sat for a conversation at the University of Alaska Fairbanks\u2019 Davis Concert Hall, hosted by veteran reporter Robert Hannon as part of the school\u2019s Summer Sessions program. Jackson opened by reading from her memoir before a crowd of roughly 900 and spoke on the practice of dissenting, calling it \u201cextraordinary\u201d that the system \u201callows for people who disagree, even at the highest levels, to explain their disagreement \u2026 in the hopes that, at some point in time, people will agree with their view.\u201d Unfortunately, the night ended abruptly after a staffer approached Jackson mid-Q&A about a personal emergency. The Miami Herald reported on Friday that her father, Johnny Brown, died on Wednesday.<\/p>

Jackson is also scheduled to speak in Chicago today. She is slated for a mainstage fireside chat with former Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar at the National Association of Women Lawyers annual meeting.<\/p>

As for Jackson\u2019s colleagues, Justice Neil Gorsuch presumably began teaching at George Mason\u2019s National Security and Separation of Powers summer program in Prague on July 19, and next Tuesday, July 28, will participate virtually in a fireside chat at The Reagan Foundation Center on Civility and Democracy\u2019s inaugural Reagan Civility & Democracy Forum in Washington, D.C. Per the Center, the \u201cforum brings together students, young professionals and national leaders to remind and retrain ourselves how to disagree and still work together to strengthen our democratic republic.\u201d<\/p>

Back on June 30, in order to promote his new-ish book, Gorsuch appeared with his co-author and former clerk Janie Nitze at a Federalist Society event at George Washington\u2019s Mount Vernon in Mt. Vernon, Virginia, per Fix The Court, and on July 1 appeared (again with Nitze) at Colonial Williamsburg in a discussion moderated by Colonial Williamsburg CEO Carly Fiorina. Gorsuch also signed books at the event.<\/p>

While there isn\u2019t much (yet) publicly available for the justices\u2019 appearances in August, several have scheduled events in September \u2013 Justice Brett Kavanaugh is expected to speak on the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks at Notre Dame\u2019s Jeanie Poole O\u2019Shaughnessy Memorial Lecture on Sept. 11 and to keynote the Catholic Bar Association\u2019s annual conference in Dallas on Sept. 26, where he will receive the St. Thomas More Award. Jackson is scheduled to give the Olga M. Jonasson Lecture \u2013 a \u201creflection of the capacity of women to reach academic pinnacles\u201d \u2013 at the American College of Surgeons at the Washington Convention Center the following day.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

SCOTUS Quote<\/h2>

MR. FLEMING: \u201cMr. Chief Justice, and may it please the Court: The Court has been offered two ways to approach this case, a short way and a long way. We believe we prevail under both and I will address both, but I would start with the short way, which we think is the right way. This is a case about appellate jurisdiction \u2013\u201d<\/p>
