Good morning—there is the possibility the Supreme Court will issue opinions this morning, before the justices hear arguments in perhaps the most visible case of the term—the addition of a citizenship question on the 2020 census. The challengers received Big Law help on their amicus briefs. We take a look at some of those briefs and law firms behind them. We also highlight one of those memorable argument moments when the justices assert their role in the constitutional structure. And LGBT cases now are on next term’s decision docket.

Census Challengers Get Big Law Boost
The justices this morning will hear arguments on whether the addition of a citizenship question on the 2020 census violates the Constitution’s enumeration clause, the Administrative Procedure Act and the Census Act. The case is the most significant confrontation of a Trump administration policy since last term’s 5-4 travel ban decision in favor of the administration.
