#SCOTUS rebuffs #AlanDershowitz $300 million suit against #CNN
The Supreme Court refused Monday to revive the attorney’s #defamation lawsuit against CNN over its coverage of remarks he made while defending #Trump during his 2020 #impeachment.
Justices Neil #Gorsuch & #ClarenceThomas dissented from the majority decision, saying legal standards for public figures who claim defamation should be reconsidered.

Justice Brett #Kavanaugh & Chief Justice #JohnRoberts broke from their #conservative colleagues in siding with Pitchford.
Justice Neil M. #Gorsuch wrote a dissenting opinion, joined by Justices #ClarenceThomas, Samuel A. #Alito Jr. & #AmyConeyBarrett.
“Put simply, Mr. Pitchford’s account of a muzzled defense team is hard to square with the record. But even if it were a plausible account, that still would not be enough,” Gorsuch wrote. -

And of course, Conservative Justices Samuel #Alito, #ClarenceThomas & Neil #Gorsuch dissented.

#Katyal noted what appeared to be skepticism of the #tariffs from Justices Amy Coney #Barrett & Neil M. #Gorsuch, asserting that upholding Trump’s #tariffs would be “a one-way ratchet” of delegating power from #Congress to the presidency, adding “we will never get this power back if the government wins this case.”

"#Katyal went right at the #conservatives with receipts — straight up calling his shot, announcing that he’d been “waiting for this case” so he could unload his can of originalism on Justice #ClarenceThomas — quoting back their own opinions from every time the shoe was on the other foot, prompting a series of blubbering exchanges from the frustrated justices. His exchange with #Gorsuch set the tone. "
