SCOTUS Watch

The eight person Supreme Court was a bit busy of late. First, a couple of whom I at times engage with on Twitter, there was new "hard pass" press list. Then, on 8/9, there were three orders. One announced a new special master for a water dispute, another stayed a long fought case (for the time being) involving a FOIA request for food stamp fund information and did not hold up Billy Ray Irick's execution. The rape/murder of a child occurred over thirty years ago, so Breyer could have used it to address one of his concerns (people on death row for decades), but Sotomayor handled it -- lethal injection issues being her thing.
