And it looks like Chief Justice John Roberts will write the DACA opinion.

All the other decisions from the November sitting have been assigned to other justices, and he& #39;s the only one who hasn& #39;t written one.

Get excited. https://www.scotusblog.com/statistics/ ">https://www.scotusblog.com/statistic...

Today the Supreme Court decided Barton, written by Brett Kavanaugh ( https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/19pdf/18-725_6khn.pdf)">https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/... and Maui, written by Stephen Breyer ( https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/19pdf/18-260_5i36.pdf).

The">https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/... only case left from that sitting is the DACA case, DHS v. Regents.

I don& #39;t think the decision will be released just yet.

On Monday, the Supreme Court allowed supplemental briefing on the question of how the Covid-19 pandemic is relevant to the legal question of "reliance."

I wrote about that here: https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020/04/panic-and-fear-already-consume-our-daily-lives-will-the-supreme-court-pass-the-coronavirus-test">https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020...

Additionally, recent reporting by @propublica and @DLind undermines key assurances the government has made to DACA recipients who fear being targeted, should the program go away.

I fully expect the justices to hear about this in that additional briefing. https://www.propublica.org/article/ice-has-access-to-daca-recipients-personal-information-despite-promises-suggesting-otherwise-internal-emails-show">https://www.propublica.org/article/i...

Two things Roberts might do:

1. Hold the case over for reargument in light of changed circumstances: https://twitter.com/MikeSacksEsq/status/1253336411899432966

2.">https://twitter.com/MikeSacks... Split the baby: https://twitter.com/lylden/status/1253333325286002690

Neither">https://twitter.com/lylden/st... is optimal, and he could well do something else. Or @MaketheRoadNY may change his mind. No pressure!
