At the Court

On Monday, the court added a new case on the First Step Act to its oral argument docket for the 2026-27 term, sent a death-row inmate’s case back to the lower courts for additional proceedings, and turned down a request from Florida to file an original action against California challenging the constitutionality of a California corporate tax rule. For more on Monday’s order list, see the On Site section below.

Alabama has asked the court on its interim docket to allow it to use a congressional map in this year’s elections that was struck by a lower court as racially discriminatory. On Monday, the plaintiffs challenging the map filed their responses to that request. Hours later, Alabama replied to their filings, so the justices could act at any time.

Also on Monday, the court denied Andrew Lukehart’s request for a stay of execution. Lukehart is scheduled to be executed today in Florida.

The court has indicated that it may announce opinions on Thursday at 10 a.m. EDT. We will be live blogging that morning beginning at 9:30 a.m.

After the possible announcement of opinions on Thursday, the justices will meet in a private conference to discuss cases and vote on petitions for review. Orders from that conference are expected on Monday, June 8, at 9:30 a.m. EDT.
