Recent Decisions


May 30, 2024
         
Cantero v. Bank of America, N. A. (22-529)
The Second Circuit failed to analyze whether New York’s interest-on-escrow law is preempted as applied to national banks in a manner consistent with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and Barnett Bank of Marion Cty., N. A. v. Nelson, 517 U. S. 25.

         
National Rifle Association of America v. Vullo (22-842)
The NRA plausibly alleged that respondent violated the First Amendment by coercing regulated entities to terminate their business relationships with the NRA in order to punish or suppress the NRA’s gun-promotion advocacy.

         
Thornell v. Jones (22-982)
The Ninth Circuit’s grant of habeas relief on Jones’s ineffective assistance of counsel claim was based on an erroneous interpretation and application of Strickland v. Washington, 466 U. S. 668.



May 23, 2024
         
Coinbase v. Suski (23-3)
Where parties have agreed to two contracts—one sending arbitrability disputes to arbitration, and the other either explicitly or implicitly sending arbitrability disputes to the courts—a court must decide which contract governs.

         
Brown v. United States (22-6389)
For purposes of the Armed Career Criminal Act’s 15-year mandatory minimum sentence on certain defendants with three or more previous convictions, a state drug conviction counts as an ACCA predicate if it involved a drug on the federal schedules at the time of that offense.

         
Alexander v. South Carolina State Conference of the NAACP (22-807)
Because the District Court’s finding that race predominated in the design of South Carolina’s first congressional district was clearly erroneous, the District Court’s racial-gerrymandering and vote-dilution holdings cannot stand.

A Memorial Day Address, 1884


Commissioned an officer in 1861 at just 20 years of age, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., saw action in several Civil War battles including Fredericksburg and Antietam, suffering serious wounds three times. In 1884, Holmes delivered a Memorial Day address in Keane, New Hampshire, posing the question of “why people still kept up Memorial Day.” In part, he said:

“ We can hardly share the emotions that make this day to us the most sacred day of the year, and embody them with ceremonial pomp, without in some degree imparting them to those who come after us. I believe from the bottom of my heart that our memorial halls and statues and tablets, the tattered flags of our regiments gathered in the Statehouses, and this day with its funeral march and decorated graves, are worth more to our young men by way of chastening and inspiration than the monuments of another hundred years of peaceful life could be.”
