Supreme Court reporter for Bloomberg News. Occasional professor. Opinions to the extent I give them are my own.
Mind-blowing that in year 2026, one can go to a federal court's website and not be able to find a newly issued major opinion. (Don't worry - I got it.)

Just to be clear, #SCOTUS has done nothing to indicate any interest in this case besides calling for a response—something that a *single* justice can request, and that is *not* remotely predictive of a cert. grant.
Everything else is standard practice for *all* cases filed in the Supreme Court.
