Anyone got the order? Was there an opinion released? I need RBG to have overtaken someone’s body and physically wrote a scathing decision that will become the leading case in every legal textbook from here until eternity.

That's what I'm reading anyway. #notalawyer Alito and Thomas would have let them argue their case but would not have granted whatever other relief Texas requested in it's petition. I didn't read the petition so I dunno what Texas asked for, but I'm sure it was ludicrous.

Not technically dissent! And I was glad that Vladek said it shows consistency with their views. I disagree with it, but it's not out of line per se.

I think it matters significantly that the three Trump appointees sided with the majority in all instances. They need to see that SCOTUS isn’t a political arm that bends to their will.

Our government is just not this coordinated or smart enough to keep this many secrets. lol

The Supreme Court decision is what I was expecting but I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel a wave of relief at the news.

Also, can I share my excitement with you all? I was super nervous to ask a couple colleagues for letters of rec for grad school and I finally got up the gumption this week and they both said they'd be delighted and honored so long as I promised not to leave my post while in school because of the work we do together.
It warmed my heart so much.
And now I have a K12 person, a city government higher up, and a health care administrator/policy person writing me recs for policy school and it's starting to feel real and possible.
Eek!!
