Virtual SCOTUS Order Day (plus SEC)

The term of the day is "disgorgement" given the one opinion (via Sotomayor with only Thomas dissenting) today. It isn't what people are waiting for really, but we are talking a lot of money. There are now fourteen, four from before May. Figure we will have at least two more (one this week and Monday) opinion days this month to deal with those four.

The orders dealt with some cases getting some attention, including a "true threat" issue that Thomas would have taken. Those who want to see the unedited epithets can check out the state opinion. Also, now there is one qualified immunity case (the Kim Davis, SSM matter) left. But, it was basically a no drama order list with the usual "huhs" -- why did such and such recuse? What is the deal with those "filing as a vet" refusals? etc.

Anyways, there should be live audio of opinion announcements. As to spacing things out, especially since there are no actual announcements, it's fine to some degree. Anthony Lewis asked for more opinion days to help the press and public (see a biography of the Warren Court). This one a day business is a bit silly.
