Marcy and Nicole discuss this week's SCOTUS decisions and those yet to come including presidential immunity

In a move that will roil hundreds of January 6 prosecutions, the Supreme Court just required a paperwork nexus for Obstruction prosecutions.

This is it: SCOTUS will deliver the last* undecided cases of the term this morning. This is an open thread.

The first presidential debate of the 2024 election season will air at 9:00 p.m. ET this evening. Discuss your perspective of the candidates' performance and their messages to us in this open thread.

The last of SCOTUS's undecided cases drop this morning or they drop tomorrow — will today's include Trump v. United States? This is an open thread.

In his Murthy v. Missouri dissent, Sam Alito said that if the President demands that a media outlet censor true content to publish favored content, that is impermissible censorship. He made a great case that Donald Trump unlawfully dictated Fox News' coverage during the 2020 transition.

DOJ could have drafted the plea agreement with Julian Assange to do far less damage going forward, but for reasons that are not yet clear, they did not.

According to one of Trump's White House aides, he kept a cluster of boxes on the side of his bed, where (usually) no one slept, and had intimate knowledge of what was in the boxes.

Abbe Lowell has rolled out a bunch of tactical reasons why Hunter Biden's conviction (at least on the key possession charge) should be overturned.

Hunter Biden's as-applied challenge to the gun charges against him will be far more interesting than his facial challenge to them. And that makes Derek Hines' continued false claims about the timeline a bit of a problem.
