Briefly:

  • David Savage reports for the Los Angeles Times that [t]he Supreme Court is nearing the end of its term and ready to release major decisions on abortion, religion and the separation of powers.
  • At Bloomberg Government, Andrew Kreighbaum and Erin Mulvaney report that [t]ransgender students stand to gain leverage in lawsuits over access to bathrooms and participation in school sports following last weeks U.S. Supreme Court ruling on LGBT workers rights.
  • At the Cato Institutes Cato at Liberty blog, Walter Olson writes that although [l]ast weeks Supreme Court decision inBostock v. Clayton County, interpreting employment discrimination on the basis of sex to include sexual orientation and gender identity, has sparked afair bit of talk about how religious liberty is supposedly circling the legal drain, religious liberty is in astronger position today in American law than some of its proponents seem prepared to concede.

  • At the George Washington Law Reviews On the Docket blog, Natasha Merle and Samuel Spital suggest that last weeks decision in Department of Homeland Security v. Regents of the University of California, in which the court held that the governments decision to terminate the DACA program violated the procedural requirements prescribed for administrative agencies, represents a troubling missed opportunity for the Court to confront the evidence that DACAs rescission was motivated, at least in part, by unconstitutional racial animus.
  • Daniel Woislaw at the Pacific Legal Foundation blog urges the court to review Lech v. City of Greenwood Village and recognize that the Fifth Amendment requires law enforcement to pay full compensation for all losses incurred when it destroys property while exercising its police powers.
