SCOTUS decisions dropping today.

First up: Van Buren v US. Misuse of computer systems by a cop to search LEO databases for money. An individual “exceeds authorized access” when he accesses a computer with authorization but then obtains information located in particular areas of the computer—such as files, folders, or databases—
that are off-limits to him. Barrett opinion, joined by Breyer, Sotomayor, Kagan, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh. Thomas wrote dissent, joined by Roberts and Alito.

UPDATE:
And that’s it. They’re done for the day. Van Buren is the first substantive review by the Supreme Court of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.
