The CJ has brought a bit of structure to oral arguments -- at least to the beginning.
The Attorney takes 60-120 seconds to give a "30,000 foot" overview of his client's position.
The CJ then starts the questioning with Justice Thomas, and then goes in order of tenure on the Court.
Twice in the Birthright Citizenship case Justice Jackson jumped in ahead of her turn, and stepped on the answers to questions that were posed by Justices on the Court longer than she has been.
She first did it at page 23 of the transcript, while Gorsuch was in the middle of asking a question. He ignored her and kept asking his question.
She then did it to Justice Barrett -- trying to jump in after Justice Gorsuch finished, when Justice Barrett was next. Justice Kavanaugh opted to not ask any questions in the first round.
In fact, she did it twice to Barrett -- coming back and trying to interject a question again when Barrett was still asking questions during the first round.
When she did it a 3rd time, Barrett just let her go.
Her inability to control herself, and her seeming indifference to the protocol the others all respect are the kinds of little things that end up with you occupying the William O. Douglas seat on the Court.
KBJ doesn't even know the word "decorum".

A federal court rejected Minnesota's attempt to restart Medicaid funding that the Trump administration had halted over concerns people are stealing the money, with the judge saying even the state has acknowledged it has a "serious fraud problem." https://t.co/BlXUNZmbAf

Can Kentucky's judiciary stop a judicial impeachment by the Legislature? Kentucky's constitution says no, but the Kentucky Supreme Court, substituting its judgment for the Legislature's, says yes. This is a very troubling example of judicial supremacy. Justice Nickell dissents. pic.twitter.com/EcdcGKcbyC

Going back to 1792, the Kentucky Constitution has guaranteed the Legislature the "sole" authority to exercise the power of impeachment. But here the Supreme Court has stymied that sole authority. And the Justices are imposing their rules on Legislative process. Likely incorrect pic.twitter.com/3fp6OFyrwt

This is what's remarkable. And I remember talking to you, I think it was a Stotomayor concurring opinion. [WAJ Note here it is, Sotomayor Had To Explain The Law To KBJ Like She Was A 5th Grader] Yes. In another case, I don't even remember what the case was, but she basically said, hey, Brown Jackson, you don't even understand what this case is about.
And that's what we're seeing here, the Justices, the eight of them, and not just the so-called conservative justices. In many ways, the conservative justices tend to ignore Brown Jackson. They tend to not treat her as being serious, at least in their opinions. They don't give her the time of day to respond. But it's interesting that Sotomayor and now Kagan do feel the need because I think she's embarrassing their liberal wing of the court.

Quote:
Murphy found that "DHS disregarded the statutory procedures Congress enacted that govern TPS and provided a 'pretextual' rationale" for ending TPS amnesty for thousands of Ethiopians.
In December, DHS announced that it was ending TPS amnesty for Ethiopian nationals, and in a press release, warned that "Ethiopian nationals with no other lawful basis for remaining in the United States have 60 days to voluntarily depart" from the country.
DHS also warned that after February 13, the agency "may arrest and deport any Ethiopian national without status after their TPS has been terminated."
"Temporary Protected Status designations are time-limited and were never meant to be a ticket to permanent residency," a spokesperson from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) said in a statement at the time. "Conditions in Ethiopia no longer pose a serious threat to the personal safety of returning Ethiopian nationals."
SCOTUS has scheduled argument for April 29 in the two TPS cases it has taken up on cert before judgment -- the Haiti case from DC and the Syria case from the 2nd Circuit.

Writing for a three-judge panel, Circuit Judge Edith Hollan Jones said the ban actually reduced tax revenue by preventing distilling in the first place, unlike laws that regulated the manufacture and labeling of distilled spirits on which the government could collect taxes.
She also said that under the government's logic, Congress could criminalize virtually any in-home activity that might escape notice from tax collectors, including remote work and home-based businesses.
