On Monday, Fifth Circuit Judge James Ho used a case over a university's drag show ban to argue that universities shouldn't be allowed to require recognized student groups to adhere to nondiscrimination policies. What's more, no one pushed back on that. https://www.lawdork.com/p/university-drag-ban-arguments-focus

My Sunday SCOTUS thoughts at Law Dork: “This week’s arguments at the U.S. Supreme Court were disturbing. They also, however, can and should serve as a warning siren.” https://www.lawdork.com/p/the-supreme-courts-men-arent-here

“It remains possible that the ultimate decisions will be more moderated than the extreme visions presented by Roberts in the homelessness case, Alito in the abortion care case, or Kavanaugh in the presidential immunity case. But the warning siren was the arguments this week.”

“As at the D.C. Circuit, many of Sauer’s answers at SCOTUS to hypotheticals — and even his view of what elements of the indictment are official acts — would, if affirmed by courts, lead to a hyper-empowered, largely unaccountable presidency. An office for which Trump is running yet again.”

Today’s SCOTUS arguments only got complicated because the justices made them that way. And the decision to do so likely will get Trump even further delay of his DC trial.

First take out of arguments: In what should have been a clear case, Alito, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh sought to ignore the case in front of them — Donald Trump's argument for absolute immunity — in an effort to complicate matters considerably.

Idaho's lawyer admitting, "It may result in a case," might have been the pivotal moment Wednesday morning at the Supreme Court as the justices considered the interplay between Idaho's near-total abortion ban and federal E.R. protections. https://www.lawdork.com/p/emtala-abortion-care-arguments-scotus

Off to SCOTUS, where Idaho is arguing today that the Biden admin is wrong with its interpretation that the federal emergency room law (EMTALA) protects abortion care in limited emergency situations even where states ban it.

"Chief Justice John Roberts displayed a alarming lack of humanity throughout the arguments on Monday, strongly fighting the idea that being homeless could ever be a status because a person can get a home at any point." https://www.lawdork.com/p/scotus-grants-pass-homelessness-arguments

The liberal justices tried to expose a dystopian, unfeeling argument in defense of Grants Pass’s ordinances that have the effect of criminalizing homelessness on Monday — but it wasn't clear whether it would be enough. https://www.lawdork.com/p/scotus-grants-pass-homelessness-arguments

First take out of arguments: Everyone but Roberts (& Thomas) appeared to see a problem w Grants Pass’s ordinance, but lots of concerns w implementing/effects of the 9th Circuit rule. Hard to see five votes for Grants Pass, but final outcome could narrow 9th Cir or even dodge.

In a Law Dork video discussion on Trump v. US, historian Holly Brewer says, “[W]e went back comprehensively through all of the constitutional debates and ratifying debates. And what was really startling when we did it … was there was no voice — literally none — that made [Trump’s] argument.” https://www.lawdork.com/p/law-dork-video-trump-immunity-scotus
