The morning read for Tuesday, April 29


We’re expecting one or more opinions from the court this morning at 10 a.m. EDT. Join us for the live blog. The court will then hear oral argument in Martin v. U.S., the case of an Atlanta couple whose home was mistakenly raided by an FBI SWAT team. They now ask the justices to decide whether they can sue the federal government for the error. In Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings v. Davis, the court will consider whether it is appropriate for a federal court to certify a class action for a class that includes plaintiffs who did not suffer any cognizable injury.
