The Supreme Court unanimously ruled Tuesday that a man’s challenge to his former placement on the No Fly List can move forward, finding the government failed to show his lawsuit is moot.

Yonas Fikre, a U.S. citizen who previously resided in Sudan, claimed his placement on the list was unlawful and sued the FBI.

The government later removed him from the list and signaled it was unlikely he would be readded. It then contended Fikre’s lawsuit was moot as a result and should be tossed.

The government warned that not declaring lawsuits like Fikre’s moot at the onset could require the government to disclose classified information. The Supreme Court rejected that assertion, enabling Fikre’s case to move ahead. “Necessarily, our judgment is a provisional one,” Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in the court’s opinion.

1. I love when the Supreme Court gives unanimous decisions

Hard to argue with any of them.

2. Except the last one, where the concurrence of the three

Dem-appointed justices read more like a dissent.

There was one after that:

Supreme Court lays out new test for determining when public officials can be sued for blocking users on social media

People complained about that one too:
