#SCOTUS Tuesday sided with a #Christian #therapist, rejecting a #Colorado #law that prohibited #MentalHealth professionals from trying to change the #SexualOrientation or #gender #identity of #LGBTQ minors.
The court’s decision has implications for >20 other states that have similar laws banning [barbaric] so-called #ConversionTherapy, which critics say is ineffective & potentially dangerous for young people.
A month after #SCOTUS over-ruled Trump’s tariffs, a new problem is just beginning.
Companies are now suing, selling their refund rights at steep discounts, and the government says it can't even process the $166 billion in rebates because the task is too big.

Last Monday's #SCOTUS summary reversal in Zorn "is a useful illustration of two distinct sets of problems: the problems with the Supreme Court deciding these cases at the cert. stage at all; and the problems with its qualified immunity jurisprudence more generally." Me in today's "One First":

218. Qualified Immunity and the Shadow Docket
The Supreme Court's ruling in Zorn v. Linton illustrates the pathologies of both its current approach to qualified immunity doctrine and its willingness to resolve appeals in such cases summarily.Steve Vladeck (One First)

#SCOTUS indicated sympathy Tuesday toward the #Trump admin’s defense of the govt's authority to turn away #asylum seekers when ofcls deem #US - #Mexico #border crossings too overburdened.
The legal dispute centers on a policy called "#metering" that the Trump admin may seek to revive after it was dropped by Joe #Biden in 2021. The policy allowed US #immigration ofcls to stop asylum seekers at the border & indefinitely decline to process their claims.

“If #SCOTUS and its defenders want to persuade those who aren’t already onboard that the justices’ behavior in these cases is all fine and dandy, a good place to start would be responding to the critics directly and persuasively—rather than caricaturing their arguments and knocking down strawmen.”

The Federal Reserve Board is composed of 7 members removable by #POTUS only for cause. #SCOTUS upheld the constitutionality of such independent agencies in Humphrey’s Executor v. US. But that case was undermined by the #SupremeCourt decision in Trump v. Wilcox to allow the removal of a member of the NLRB. Now, Trump has fired a member of the Federal Reserve Board. Will the Court uphold the Board’s independence in Trump v. Cook? #law #history #economics

so 3 courts + US Copyright Office say you cannot copyright nor patent anything made primarily with LLMs because automata aren't human.
#SCOTUS won't review these rules because copyright is meant to protect human creations, not software or automata.
this may mean #AWSlop #Microslop are “de-copyrighting” & “de-patenting” their own proprietary software as they let automata “code” 🧐
