SCOTUS Order List

That's fairly long for the average order list. And, yes, there was a per curiam.

SCOTUS (with only Jackson publicly dissenting without comment) flagged that it thinks a lower court misapplied a limit on federal habeas. The opinion (this is relatively rare) includes photographs.

The case is, in effect, a matter of error correction to flag that the lower court did not appropriately apply a federal limit on habeas. The justices re-parsed the evidence to determine this. Hmm. 

The Court also granted cert in a case where the petition uses a scene from the film Hoosiers to make a point. The case involves the Video Privacy Protection Act. The next scheduled event is February 20th. 

SCOTUSBlog on Bluesky: "The court has agreed to weigh in on the interpretation of a federal law, enacted in the wake of Judge Robert Bork’s unsuccessful Supreme Court confirmation hearings, intended to protect videotape rental histories from public disclosure." The case involves Facebook. 

I continue to wish the Order List provided links to the docket pages of the cases covered. Instead, the interested person needs to look up each one individually. It's not really too much to ask in 2026.
