(4,787 posts)According to a poster on the SCOTUSblog live feed (which hasn't d/led the full document yet), 'The court's opinion is only 30 pages long. The rest of the 172 pages is the dissent and a long appendix to Alito's [dissent].
According to another poster, 'Bostock opinion covers all three cases and applies to both sexual orientation and transgender identity.'
Those cases are Bostock v Georgia, Altitude Express Inc. v. Zarda and R.G. & G.R. Harris Funeral Homes Inc. v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
The server issues are likely being caused by this, per another SCOTUSblog poster: "Alito has a long dissent with at least 4 appendixes, Appendix D is full of images of government forms. It appears that no one file compressed these when they added them to the opinion, causing such a big file size, added with increased demand due to COVID on SCOTUS servers, makes it easy to cause an overload."
Edit: SCOTUSblog now has the opinion here: https://www.scotusblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/17-1618_hfci.pdf
