SCOTUS Watch

Some action of note order-wise, including letting the DACA case continue meaning the stay in place continues. Notable oral arguments this week. And, decisions today, including a 5-3 case [if some Democrat appointee took part, would it have been 4-4?] involving bail hearings for immigrants [Breyer dissenting from bench], a unanimous bankruptcy case and a splintered result in a jurisdiction case that involved Roberts being pretty upset in dissent.

ETA: A comment at the bail hearing link suggests the bottom line constitutional question is still open but here warns that it very well still might have broad reach in another fashion. Some of the negative coverage was probably too blunt but that's typical.
