During today's webinar, Amanda Salz, counsel at @becketfund, discusses why the Landor v. Louisiana Department of Corrections and Public Safety decision is less about religious liberty and more about the Spending Clause:
“On a closer read, this isn’t really a religious liberty opinion as much as it’s a Spending Clause opinion.”
What are the main questions in St. Mary Catholic Parish v. Roy? During today’s event, Prof. John A. Meiser, Director of Notre Dame Law School’s Religious Liberty Clinic, breaks down three key questions in the case before the Supreme Court this term.

On this day in 2018, Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh was sworn in as the 114th United States Supreme Court Justice. We thank him for his dedication and service to the United States!
Federalist Society retweeted
"They want the Constitution to mean whatever they want it to mean."
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito discusses originalism on "Life, Liberty & Levin," explaining his view that the Constitution should be interpreted according to the meaning of its words when they were adopted.
Alito contrasts that approach with interpretations that allow the Constitution's meaning to change over time.

Ahead of oral arguments today, Michael R. Williams, Solicitor General of West Virginia, breaks down the key issues in Suncor v. Boulder County:
Checkout this "Weekend Must-Watch" video - an interview by @ShannonBream of Justice Samuel Alito. The interview includes an important discussion about the rising threats against the Justices and calls for "court-packing" and whether these are attempted "intimidation" of the Justices to change how they vote.
How do calls to pack/reform/term limit the Supreme Court land with the Justices themselves? Some see attempts at "intimidation" - Check out my full interview with Justice Alito tomorrow on @FoxNewsSunday

On Justice Clarence Thomas: he will "go down as one of the most important Justices in the history of the Court .... We each contribute something different to the court ... in many respects, [Thomas] is writing for the ages" @JanCBS 8/12
On the metaphor of Justices-as-umpires (popularized by Chief Justice Roberts): Alito said judges are like umps in that they both have to make judgment calls and that's why Alito is a "practical originalist," saying "In the end, if that's what it says, then that's what the decision has to be. But we shouldn't happily accept results that seem to make no sense." @JanCBS 11/12
The whole article by @jancbs includes much more, a remarkably candid conversation with Justice Alito that makes this article a must-read. One of the most important contributions of the article is the discussion about how threats to the Justices have escalated as an intimidation tactic - but that those threats will not deter Justice Alito from changing how he interprets the Constitution. 12/12
