Supreme Court Opinion released today per Slate's Mark Stern-
The Supreme Court's third AND FINAL decision of the day is Thornell v. Jones. In a 6–3 opinion, Alito holds that the 9th Circuit was wrong to find that a man condemned to death suffered ineffective assistance of council. All three liberals dissent

Alito asks for 90 day extension on reporting as he does every year. Thomas now finally reporting Bali trip from years ago that I think billionaire Harlan Crow funded. Also article noted that due to security concerns Thomas is either saying he’s no longer traveling or no longer reporting he’s traveling. I need to re-read that! Justice Jackson got 4 pricey Beyonce tickets and some artwork. Kavanaugh is writing a book. Elsewhere I saw that Thomas has received countless more millions in gifts over the last 20 years than any Justice. He has reported only half of it.

Asked how the country can become less polarized, Alito responded: “I wish I knew. I don’t know. It’s easy to blame the media, but I do blame them because they do nothing but criticize us. And so they have really eroded trust in the court. … “
Yes, it’s the media’s fault that Clarence Thomas is gorging at the trough of free stuff while the court delays a Trump trial by slow walking a decision on presidential immunity. I blame Rolling Stone.
