Today was the last day of the Supreme Court term. It came out wrong on the Missouri playground church-state case, which I have not read yet. I think the big news is a partial stay of Trump's tavel ban.
It granted suit in the colorado gay cake case. I'll be headed out to Colorado next month to invesigate further. As a gay guy who has worked at bakeries, I support the bakers.
It granted cert in a case about a whitleblower under Dodd-Frank.
It turned down a california case, Peralta, about the right to bear arms. I'm trying to find Gorsuch's dissent.
Ah, he only joined Thomas's dissent:

Thomas and Gorsuch seem like a good team.
For those of us who work in marbled halls, guarded constantly by a vigilant and dedicated police force, the guarantees of the Second Amendment might seem antiquated and superfluous. But the Framers made a clear choice: They reserved to all Americans the right to bear arms for self-defense. I do not think we should stand by idly while a State denies its citizens that right, particularly when their very lives may depend on it. -Thomas.

- Former inmates: Marion County, Ind., jail officials regularly delayed our release for up to three days — in part because officials used a computer system that didn’t work with the court and police systems; certify our class action. (Fun fact: That computer system was a gift from the jail’s phone company, which charged high rates for calls that generated beaucoup profits for the phone company and the sheriff.) District court: We’ll certify some of the subclasses, but not all. Seventh Circuit: We’ll certify all.
