The Supreme Court issued two opinions on Tuesday ahead of its busy oral argument session on the Biden administration's student debt relief plan, repeating a pattern of non-traditional alliances among the justices in a small set of early rulings.
Liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson authored her first-ever opinion in a dispute between Pennsylvania and Delaware over unclaimed money. The decision was unanimous, with support from some of the court's six Republican-appointed counterparts, though not all of the conservatives joined her full opinion.
Eight other justices unanimously supported Parts I, II, III, and IV-A of Jackson's opinion. She was also joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Brett Kavanaugh on Part IV-B of the opinion. But four conservative justices — Neil Gorsuch, Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, and Amy Coney Barrett — did not side with her on Part IV-B.
Through Gorsuch's ruling, the high court tossed out a $2.72 million fine on Alexandru Bittner, a businessman who did not file reports for five years when he was abroad in Romania. Bittner argued the maximum penalty under federal law is $50,000. “Best read, the BSA treats the failure to file a legally compliant report as one violation carrying a maximum penalty of $10,000, not a cascade of such penalties calculated on a per-account basis,” Gorsuch wrote.
