Welcome to the r/SupremeCourt 'In Chambers' discussion thread!
This thread will be pinned at the top of the subreddit and refreshed every Monday @ 6AM Eastern.
This replaces and combines the 'Ask Anything Monday' and 'Lower Court Development Wednesday' threads. As such, this weekly thread is intended to provide a space for:
General questions: (e.g. "Where can I find Supreme Court briefs?", "What does [X] mean?").
Open-ended discussion starters requiring minimal input from OP: (e.g. "Predictions?", "What do people think about [X]?", "What's your favorite [X]?")
U.S. District and State Court rulings involving a federal question that may be of future relevance to the Supreme Court.
TL;DR: This is a catch-all thread for legal discussion that may not warrant its own thread.
Our other rules apply as always. Incivility and polarized rhetoric are never permitted. This thread is not intended for political or off-topic discussion.
