SCOTUS Watch

There is a 5-3 split of Catholics (Sotomayor is the secular Catholic; Kennedy the one who is a bit cafeteria) and Jews (all appear mostly secular) on the Court and Garland is Jewish too, so it is fitting that the First Monday in October overlaps with the Jewish New Year today. Anyway, the orders were of little apparent note, one criminal one split 5-3. Some (like U.S. v. Texas -- rejected, not held over until nine were available) cases rejected of some interest. The Twitter brigade is back, including Kimberly Robinson with some good stuff.
