After holding oral argument for some major cases and granting another, the Supreme Court will go on a bit of a break after today's orders (two executions scheduled at end of month). Note the next conference is 11/1. Nothing that notable.
As usual, a few interesting things. For some reason, it is taking time to dispose of all the partisan gerrymandering cases after June's holding they are non-justiciable. In a case Roberts didn't take part in, Thomas/Gorsuch tossed in a statement flagging their strong conservative federalist sentiments. And, an anti-censorship group submitting a brief flagged an interesting case not taken for review (the facts make "Judge Dick" being involved amusing).
ETA: There were also later orders that didn't agree to hold up an environmental lawsuit and of all people appointed Paul Clement to defend the constitutionality of the consumer financial bureau, which is weird, since the guy never argues the right side (I exaggerate only slightly).
