SCOTUS Watch

The big news is taking a 2A case for full review after nearly a decade [bound to happen, details up in the air] and letting Trump's trans military ban be applied during litigation. Kavanaugh is likely key here, both not to be decided this term either. The idea is this is a "no drama" term. They will be back mid-February though we might get an order regarding the first execution planned for this year. Red flag for me is the thirty year lag time.

ETA: The Court also set February and March calendars oral argument dates and (eventually) removed an advisory on their rarely used media page after taking the census case off.
