Recent Decisions


April 29, 2026
         
First Choice Women’s Resource Centers, Inc. v. Davenport (24-781)
In a 42 U. S. C. §1983 suit challenging a subpoena issued by the New Jersey Attorney General demanding documents and donor information, First Choice has established a present injury to its First Amendment associational rights sufficient to confer Article III standing.

         
Louisiana v. Callais (24-109)
Because the Voting Rights Act of 1965, 52 U. S. C. §10301 et seq., did not require Louisiana to create an additional majority-minority district, no compelling interest justified the State’s use of race in creating SB8, and that map is an unconstitutional racial gerrymander.



April 22, 2026
         
Enbridge Energy, LP v. Nessel (24-783)
Because 28 U. S. C. §1446(b)(1)’s text, structure, and context are inconsistent with equitable tolling, Enbridge’s removal of the case to federal court outside the statute’s 30-day deadline was untimely.

         
Hencely v. Fluor Corp. (24-924)
The Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit erred in finding Winston Hencely’s state-law tort claims preempted where the Federal Government neither ordered nor authorized Fluor Corporation’s challenged conduct.



April 20, 2026
       
District of Columbia v. R.W. (25-248) (Per Curiam)
Because Officer Vanterpool clearly had reasonable suspicion to stop R. W., the judgment of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals is reversed, and the case is remanded.

An Appointment Tale of Two Administrations


With the passage of the Eighth and Ninth Circuits Act of 1837, Congress increased the number of seats on the Supreme Court from seven to nine. As one of his final presidential duties, President Andrew Jackson nominated John Catron of Tennessee and William Smith of Alabama to fill the seats on March 3, 1837. The next day, Martin Van Buren, a staunch supporter of Jackson who had been consulted on the nominations, became the eighth president of the United States. The Senate confirmed both nominees on March 8th, but Smith subsequently declined his nomination. When Catron took his oaths of office on May 1, 1837, he became the only Justice to be nominated by one president but confirmed and sworn into office under another. Justice Catron served until his death in May 1865.
