SCOTUS Watch: Sotomayor Concurs In Part

Orders: The big news is that SCOTUS asked the Biden Administration for its opinion in a big affirmative action case, delaying a final decision regarding them taking it in a term already with a big abortion and guns case.

Opinions: Kavanaugh and Thomas wrote criminal justice statutory opinions that everyone but Sotomayor (in part) joined. Sotomayor flagged one case was limited while in the other challenged the majority's history on the crack-to-powder cocaine law. She also said the result is illogical (if fixable) but compelled by the text. Not that the Administration, its sponsors and others thought so. Maybe, not so obvious?

Other: Good interview by High School SCOTUS of Melissa Murray, who would be a great federal judge. The Progressive Constitution thing is well worth checking out too. Meanwhile, Graveyard Mitch says if Republicans gain control even filling judicial seats in 2023 is dubious. Hey, Breyer ... He's rubbing our faces it now. Come on, Dems!
