Divided Argument

Season 7 opens with a Court busy not deciding: an Alito recusal, a quorum lost to four book deals, and a stern Purcell per curiam for Missouri.

Two August per curiams find no one with standing to challenge the mail-ballot order or the White House ballroom—and a third drops while we're recording.

Cisco Systems v. Doe shuts the Alien Tort Statute door Sosa left open — pirates, ambassadors, and one Phoenix bar band excepted.

Hunter v. United States makes appeal waivers yield to "miscarriages of justice" — and nobody, including the Court, can quite say why.

We finally tackle the trans-sports cases and walk through the Court’s Equal Protection and Title IX analysis.
