Today I'll be reading the eagerly anticipated D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals decision in the Trump Jan 6th case, as I promised early last month when I read Judge Tanya Chutkin's memorandum opinion denying Donald Trump's motion to dismiss the case, claiming that presidents have blanket criminal immunity.
Keep your eye out today for Part One!

Over the next two episodes, I'll be reading two past opinions that will help us better understand two cases currently before the Court.
The past opinions are Garcetti v. Ceballos (2006) and Packingham v. North Carolina (2017). The two cases currently before the Court are Lindke v. Freed and O'Connor-Ratcliff v. Garnier; these two similar cases were granted cert on the same day and their oral arguments were both given on the same day - October 31, 2023.
Today I'll be reading the opinion of the Court in Garcetti v. Ceballos (2006)

This is not the yet-to-be-issued D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals opinion regarding the Jan 6th criminal case against Donald Trump (although, I plan to read that opinion as soon as it is issued). Rather, it is in response to a claim of immunity made by Donald Trump in response to several civil suits brought against him for actions surrounding the events of January 6, 2021, consolidated as Blassingame v. Trump (Dec 1, 2023). This important circuit court opinion follows last week's reading of Nixon v. Fitzgerald perfectly; it provides a more thorough background on presidential immunity - a topic that is particularly relevant to current events.
As soon as the Circuit Court issues an opinion on Judge Chutkin's ruling in the Jan 6th case, I will begin reading it for you. However, if the Court issues a new SCOTUS opinion in a case argued this term, it will take priority over reading any Circuit Court rulings issued at or around the same time.

Today I'll be reading two very brief opinions dissenting from the denial of certiorari in Tingley v. Ferguson, issued back on December 11th, 2023. The first dissent is from Justice Thomas and is only around 4 pages long; the second is Justice Alito's dissent, which is only a few paragraphs long and is written as if it were meant to be read at the end of Thomas' dissent - so, that's what I'm going to do.
Enjoy.
