---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
19-309 | 3rd Cir. | Oct 5, 2020 | Dec 10, 2020 | 8-0 | Breyer | OT 2020 |
Holding: Because Adams has not shown that he was “able and ready” to apply for a judicial vacancy in the imminent future, he has failed to show a “personal,” “concrete” and “imminent” injury necessary for Article III standing.
Judgment: Vacated and remanded, 8-0, in an opinion by Justice Breyer on December 10, 2020. Justice Sotomayor filed a concurring opinion. Justice Barrett took no part in the consideration or decision of this case.

Just in: SCOTUS opinions expected next Thursday.

Apparently all the action today at #SCOTUS was not limited to opinion announcements at 10 am. Major new cert. petition filed today challenging Harvard admissions policy. https://twitter.com/GregStohr/status/1364962610177843210
NEW: Supreme Court asked to outlaw race-based college admissions. Group challenging Harvard admissions policy says it files appeal asking court to over 2003 Grutter decision.
SCOTUS rules against a college student who tried to sue police officers after they mistook him for a criminal suspect and tackled/beat him. The unanimous ruling involves a technical interpretation of the "judgment bar" under the Federal Tort Claims Act. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf/19-546_7mip.pdf
