SCOTUS Opinion Day

Big news on the court front is the first set of Biden's judicial appointments, including a diverse group by race, public defenders, many law schools and so on. We also finally have text for the 14A, sec. 3 enforcement bill that should get prompt attention.

The opinions today are basically non-controversial, including a FCC ruling decided on narrow grounds, avoiding potential controversy suggested by some of its details. One was a water dispute. The third is amusing since Scalia's pal lost in a statutory language dispute though the opinions did give their book a good amount of attention. Justice Alito's "remember these rules are more like guidelines" concurrence is pretty on the money.

No additional orders yet. Will add if any come up. [No change. There will be orders and probably one or more opinions on Monday.]
