In a complex case involving statutory interpretation & administrative law, the Supreme Court rules against a veteran who sought to challenge a 1977 denial of a disability claim. SCOTUS says he can't reopen that denial even though it was based on an invalid agency interpretation.

Here's the opinion from Amy Coney Barrett in George v. McDonough: https://supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf/21-234_2b8e.pdf. The vote is 6-3, with Breyer, Sotomayor, and Gorsuch dissenting.

Opinion #3 of the day (and still more to come): The Supreme Court sides with Native American tribes in a dispute with Texas about what types of gambling on reservations the state can control.

Fourth opinion of the day: A 9-0 ruling on international child custody disputes under the Hague Convention. The decision appears to make it more likely that district courts will NOT order a child returned to his or her home country if the child might face a risk of harm there.

Here's the opinion from Sonia Sotomayor in Golan v. Saada: https://supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf/20-1034_b8dg.pdf

Sixth and FINAL Supreme Court ruling of the day: The court dismisses a dispute over the Trump-era "public charge" immigration policy -- meaning SCOTUS opts not to weigh in on the merits. This would seem to dash red states' attempt to revive the policy.

Here's the ruling dismissing the case, Arizona v. City and County of San Francisco (along with a short concurrence by John Roberts): https://supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf
