SCOTUS Order/Opinion Day: Not Much Happens

There were more time with May arguments and many cases pending, but nothing much this morning. This includes regarding dealing with a bunch of pending 2A issues other than declaring one moot. Thomas flagged a circuit split apparently to deal with too many prisoners gaining relief once they are released. The one opinion was unanimous per Gorsuch and held against Sudan regarding punitive damages under the relevant law.

Update: Texas has put off multiple executions but Missouri decided to push ahead with a problematic case though at first it looked a federal judge would hold up. But, the court of appeals overturned and (without comment) the Supreme Court let that stand on Tuesday. He was executed. I'm glad I don't "deep dive" these things like last year. Depressing.
