Good morning and welcome to Supreme Court Brief! If the justices thought they would ease into Thanksgiving this week, the news held other surprises. Justice Alito is at the center of an allegation that the result of the 2014 decision in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby was leaked while the case was pending. Some Senate Democrats are calling for an investigation and for the passage of a Supreme Court ethics code. Meanwhile, the justices have been dealing with a flurry of last-minute death penalty applications. We have details. And the Insular Cases appear to be here to stay. Scroll down for more on the 2014 leak and questions about Justice Barrett’s impartiality in the upcoming First Amendment LGBTQ argument.
Thanks for reading. We welcome feedback and tips. Contact Marcia Coyle at [email protected] and follow her on Twitter @MarciaCoyle.
