- Happy to report that Orrick appellate associate Katherine Munyan obtained a big en banc win for her client (and all immigrants who are doing their good faith best to attend their immigration hearings on time). Congrats to Katie & the Orrick team. cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/op...
- An en banc appellate argument is the most challenging type of argument. Often, there is a hostile faction trying to score points via their questions. Orrick appellate associate Katie Munyan, however, was amazing, handling yesterday's argument with great skill. www.ca9.uscourts.gov/media/video/...
- Sally Jenkins (@sallyjenx.bsky.social) remains one of the best writers out there. I appreciate her reminding us of the prior greatness of the Washington Post, which is now been destroyed by its current ownership/management. www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...
- Former Orrick appellate associate, Hannah Garden-Monheit, who went on to work at the FTC and the White House, co-authored this very interesting report: "Building a More Effective, Responsive Government Lessons Learned from the Biden-Harris Administration." rooseveltinstitute.org/wp-content/u...

- Amazing performance by Orrick appellate associate Allyssa Barnard-Yanni in arguing an important forfeiture case before the en banc 9th Circuit sitting today.

- On @lawfaremedia.org, Mary Mason (who handled many a high profile Bivens case at DOJ) now shares here experience with Bivens cases and her views on the need for reform. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/reck...
- The transcript of the tariff argument is now up: www.supremecourt.gov/casehand/gui...
- Updated vote predictions so far from the questioning in the tariff argument-- For plaintiffs: SS, EK, KBJ For Trump: BK, CT, SA In play: ACB, Chief, NMG I think if NMG and ACB join the liberals, the Chief would go along. But he will not himself be the 5th vote.
- The predictions market reads the Gorsuch questions as bad for Trump

- Good morning from the @amtrak.com NextGen train.
- A bit of positive SCOTUS news. The Court let stand a big win for California death-row inmates. In 2023, a 9th Cir. panel reversed dismissal of Stephen Redd's challenge to a 26-year delay in appointing him state-guaranteed counsel for state habeas proceedings. cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/op... 1/3
