Whoa a new episode of @JonahRemnant with @ishapiro

A noncoercive monument-a cross or a Star of David-isn't establishment. As 7 justices found, tearing down a war memorial instead establishes anti-religious orthodoxy, with mandates that relig symbols be eradicated from public life. #CatoSCOTUS @FDRLST

1. Thread on Gamble. Shamefully, only 2 justices find you can’t be prosecuted twice for same crime. #SCOTUS ruled 7-2 [https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/18pdf/17-646_d18e.pdf ]-with only Gorsuch and RBG in dissent-that state/fed govts can have second bite at the apple, both prosecuting someone for the same crime

Thanks for the great amicus @ishapiro @CatoInstitute!

[TODAY] Courthouse Steps Oral Argument: Iancu v Brunetti https://bit.ly/2XcTFmM Featuring @ishapiro. #teleforum Call begins at 1p ET.

Among today’s #SCOTUS cert denial was SEJOUR v. UNITED STATES, where lower court held that interstate commerce element of the Hobbs Act was satisfied in a $200 gas station robbery because the gas and beer sold at the station came from out-of-state. -yes, clearly a federal crime

Very good piece explaining the state of play on Second Amendment (non?) jurisprudence and the potential for the Court to clarify. https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-supreme-court-is-too-gun-shy-on-the-second-amendment-11546473290 @WSJopinion @ishapiro @MattLaAtLaw @CatoInstitute
