SCOTUS Watch: Order List

Today's Order List will be the last scheduled thing until November. It was brief but had a few notables. 

The Supreme Court took some more EPA cases (as I said last time, the conservatives have been concerned about them overreaching for a while) and another case with this fascinating subject:

Whether, even though Congress excluded 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)(2)(A) from 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)’s list of factors to consider when revoking supervised release, a district court may rely on the Section 3553(a)(2)(A) factors when revoking supervised release.

Alito isn't taking part in two of the EPA cases for whatever reason. We have the usual cert denials with a note (without comment) that "The petition for a writ of certiorari is denied. Justice Thomas, Justice Gorsuch, and Justice Kavanaugh would grant the petition for a writ of certiorari" in a takings case

(A consistent -- no joke -- libertarian argues here that the case would be a bad "vehicle" as they say to address the subject.) 

More from Amy Howe.  

Meanwhile, a good Supreme Court piece on how they have been against corruption laws (at times unanimously) for years. [Insert joke here.]
