SCOTUS Watch

The big thing now is who will be nominated (next Monday has been flagged for whom will get the rose) to replace Kennedy (stepping off at the end of July). Though SCOTUSBlog doesn't even cite it on their calendar, SCOTUS did announce their three official summer order days. Nothing much usually really happens but just a footnote. Other spare orders possible.

And Also: Rick Hasen flagged, wondering if it was on account of illness, that O'Connor didn't provide an official statement on Kennedy's retirement. But, Souter didn't either. He gave brief statements on Stevens' retirement and Scalia's death.
