SCOTUS Watch

The year continues to be bad but it is starting to fade -- we are almost ready for a new term. "Long conference" time! Time for a few more '16 term orders. Just in time, Trump has a new travel order, which might moot the current case. SCOTUS is going it slow on gerrymandering. Meanwhile, Gorsuch is ratcheting [McConnell] up [Trump] the impropriety.

ETA: I have not read a full analysis, but unclear how much the "new" travel ban really changes anything, at least to make it less offensively both arbitrary and broad (as to those covered). As the link notes, its effect on North Korea is trivial. Venezuela is also a limited thing. So, Chad? I foresee more litigation in its future. [Execution held up, 6-3.]
