Sarah Isgur and David French face the muddiness of a case on moving criminal aliens to South Sudan, the messiness of death penalty cases, and the potential abortion distortion of a plain ol’ statutory question. Today’s dessert, though, is analyzing an interview of Justice Samuel Alito by the Hoover Institution.

The Agenda:
—Mark Justice Clarence Thomas off your bingo card
—Supreme Court’s yellow light for moving criminal aliens to third-party countries
—Gutierrez v. Saenz
—Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic
—Sarah’s pet peeve: 18th century life expectancy stats
—Chief + Gorsuch = criminal justice case
—Alito time
