The Supreme Court handed down several decisions today, including the first written by Justice Sotomayor. In keeping with tradition, it was a unanimous decision, although Justice Thomas issued a concurrence. The case was Mohawk Industries V. Carpenter, an attorney-client privilege case in which the Court upheld the lower court’s ruling that a federal judge’s decision releasing documents created by Mohawk Industries’ lawyer could not be appealed.
The highly anticipated ruling in the Citizens United case was not handed down.
