    Following similar actions on the public-charge rule, Medicaid work requirements, and various Trump-era immigration policies, the Biden administration is now moving to end litigation over Trump's so-called "gag rule" for Title X family-planning clinics.

    In new filings tonight, lawyers ask to dismiss trio of cases challenging Trump-era regulations prohibiting clinics that receive federal family planning funds from providing abortion referrals.

    Actually, just issued an order amending Monday's order list to limit the grant in Thompson v. Clark to the first question in the petition, on the "favorable termination" rule:

    in Thompson v Clark granted yesterday, did the Court grant both questions presented in the Cert petition? The second question seems fairly significant to the Court's 4A jurisprudence, imho.

    That means an even lighter March sitting with only six hours of oral argument remaining on the court’s calendar.

    At Biden administration's request, has taken dispute over Medicaid work requirements, scheduled for March 29, off argument calendar. The move leaves March argument session w/just six hours of argument time.

    Good thread on why we might see Merrick Garland at the Supreme Court after all.

    Another custom is for the attorney general to personally argue a case before the Supreme Court. Not all AG's have exercised the privilege, but Bill Barr did in his first turn at the job.

    SCOTUS still hasn't acted on Biden DOJ request to cancel argument in the upcoming case about the legality of Medicaid work requirements approved under the Trump admin. It's scheduled for March 29; DOJ has asked SCOTUS to scrap it while the Biden administration unwinds the policy.

    The court denied another petition filed by former President Trump relating to the 2020 elections -- this one against the Wisconsin Elections Commission. No action on the challenge to the Mississippi law that bans most abortions after 15 weeks.
