Neal Katyal: significant bad news for Trump:

As @AshaRangappa_ has powerfully written, today’s US Supreme Court decision is significant bad news for Trump, especially now that legislative action has been taken to end the pardon loophole in NY. https://t.co/pKwILgkZtQ

Nina Totenberg on all the rulings today in general:

Forget those 5-4 liberal/conservative splits, at least for a day. Three of four #SCOTUS split decisions today were with libs joining conservatives and vice versa. https://t.co/msXJjF1GIH

Three weeks ago #SCOTUS Clarence weighed in for 20 pgs linking abortion w eugenics. Today he spent 17 pgs, in concurring opinion, decrying stare decisis as a doctrine that "elevates demonstrably erroneous decisions...over the text of the Constitution."

She notes that there are 20 more to come by the end of the month:

And you think you wait until the last minute! #SCOTUS still has 20 outstanding cases to rule on before the expected end of the term, no later than June 29. Yikes!
