Not that it makes a big difference, but Trump's team just asked for a 30-day extension to file their brief at the 11th Circuit in the appeal of Judge Cannon's dismissal of the Mar-a-Lago case. Trump's brief would be due Oct. 25, instead of Sept. 25. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.ca11.87822/gov.uscourts.ca11.87822.30.0.pdf

The effort to kill the NLRB might heat up quickly. I have the latest at Law Dork on the multiple appeals challenging the constitutionality of the agency charged with enforcing labor laws in this country. https://www.lawdork.com/p/challenges-to-the-nlrb-are-multiplying

We talk a lot about the long-term consequences of this election to SCOTUS (and thus, to us), but there also could be immediate SCOTUS effects as well — in cases over trans rights, ghost guns, the ACA, and more. I have the story at Law Dork: https://www.lawdork.com/p/presidential-election-and-the-new-scotus-term

Missouri's governor and the man he appointed AG are being allowed to kill a man, Marcellus Williams, over the objection of the prosecutor in the office that prosecuted the case — with innocence and racism questions at issue — and the Supreme Court's conservatives said, "Sounds good to me." https://www.lawdork.com/p/scotus-clemency-marcellus-williams

RIP, Marcellus Williams. SCOTUS conservatives let Missouri kill Marcellus Williams. Missouri executed Williams tonight despite a serious innocence claim. The three liberal justices would grant him a stay of execution.Law Dork: https://www.lawdork.com/p/scotus-clemency-marcellus-williams

FWIW, I think a lot of the writing about this new SCOTUS term as not having much or being low-key is wrong. I think this is what I am calling a "contingent term," with options to either fight a Harris admin or step back and appease a Trump admin. https://www.lawdork.com/p/the-contingent-term-begins

We are seeing this on several fronts, and it's something I've been writing about since July. It's very concerning, in part because it allows the very politicized conservative majority to hold back now — and then assert itself how it wants, regardless of what happens in November.

NEW: Justice Sam Alito tried out several analogies in opposing the ATF’s “ghost gun” rule, but he was more or less left to do so alone on Tuesday. After 75 minutes of arguments, the rule appears to be safe.Here’s my Law Dork report from SCOTUS: https://www.lawdork.com/p/atf-ghost-gun-rule-scotus-arguments

Chief Justice John Roberts has set up the court to be Trump's appeaser if he wins and to hold back Harris if she wins. Sure, there's a little more nuance than that, but, that's the story. In case after case, issue after issue, this is the contingent term. I've been writing about it at Law Dork. https://www.lawdork.com/p/the-contingent-term-begins
