Morning Docket: 03.28.18

* Is the Supreme Court about to take a right turn? With lengthy delays in issuing opinions and apparent infighting that's leaked onto the bench during oral arguments, pundits think that the high court may soon become as "politically fractured as the rest of Washington." [CNN] * Speaking of SCOTUS, the justices spent an hour debating whether they should abandon the longstanding rule in Marks, which guides whose holding controls when the decision is split. [National Law Journal] * New York, California, and several other states will sue to prevent the U.S. government from asking about citizenship status in the 2020 census whether people are citizens, contending that such a question could stop immigrants from participating and skew the makeup of Congress. [Reuters] * Uber will pay $10 million to settle a discrimination class-action that was brought on behalf of hundreds of women and minority software engineers. [The Recorder] * Remember the little boy who was decapitated while riding the world's tallest water slide in 2016? The co-owner of the waterpark where it happened was arrested earlier this week and charged with second-degree murder. [New York Times]
