Last opinion: Justice Sotomayor writes in Facebook v. Daguid, finding that Facebook's system for storing phone numbers doesn't count as an "automatic telephone dialing system" under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (basically anti-robocalling law)https://t.co/h5AwiKOeuA

There are plenty of things you can call Facebook out for. This one seems opportunistic and silly. Seems like SCOTUS made the right call: https://t.co/ovkBlBXThw

Justice Scalia & @BryanAGarner's treatise cited in both Sotomayor's majority opinion & Alito's concurrence in Facebook v. Duguid. ? Also cited in Alito's opinion: @WilliamBaude & @StephenESachs, The Law of Interpretation, 130 Harv. L. Rev. 1079 (2017). https://t.co/Z03D7jKwgz

The Supreme Court's third and FINAL opinion of the day is in Facebook v. Duguid, unanimously holding that Facebook's security features do not violate the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991. Opinion by Sotomayor. https://t.co/RbroAddGHY

In an opinion devoted to careful use of language, Justice Alito makes this surprising mistake. Antonin Scalia is not their “former colleague”; he is their “late colleague.” Until his death he was their colleague, and never was or became a “former” one. https://t.co/22NCAxRUC0 pic.twitter.com/CJcRh75p0Y

NEW: The Supreme Court rules in favor of Facebook in a dispute over unwanted text messages the company sent to a man who had never signed up for Facebook. SCOTUS says the texts are not covered by a federal law that bans robocalls and robotexts.https://t.co/pFtF040hST

Third (and *last*) decision from #SCOTUS this morning is in Facebook v. Duguid (a technical case about the meaning of federal telemarketing laws): https://t.co/mVLz3RAmOQ

Still no ruling on the #ACA; Google v. Oracle; or the Philadelphia religious liberty case.
Sotomayor writes that the court can’t update the Telephone Consumer Protection Act to protect telephone consumers from modern technology like Facebook’s, only Congress can. https://t.co/6fWASOFGLq

Well, either this is a really elaborate April Fool's joke (in the which case, you got me), or Justice Alito just cited my paper with Justice Thomas Lee in his concurring opinion in Facebook v. Duguid. 1/https://t.co/dFwfs16Ggs

Alito writes separately to suggest that his colleagues are misusing or abusing Antonin Scalia and Bryan A. Garner's READING LAW treatise! https://t.co/RbroAddGHY pic.twitter.com/Fm8q1fKmsG

Decision here: https://t.co/7CTsiRVorP
Fascinating case in which Justice Sotomayor contends that the series-qualifier canon is sometimes useful but Justice Alito disagrees vehemently on the grounds that the series-qualifier canon is only sometimes useful. https://t.co/jZl6CIu6Vu
