With SCOTUS next having a conference at the end of the month, today's Order List might be the last one with eight. (ETA: 4-4 to be cont. election ruling, Dems win for now.)
Curiously, it took a border wall and migration policy case, both tied to Trump being in office. The other granted case involves entering a house without a warrant even in pursuit of someone allegedly committing a misdemeanor, here a noise related vehicle matter though it later led to a drunk driving charge once the officer talked to the person.
Gorsuch (with Sotomayor and Kagan, who wrote a concurrence in one case he flagged) -- with a photo (rare even in opinions) -- flagged a lower case as wrongly decided if perhaps not cert-worthy. It involved a 4A issue and has "see Trump nominees are trustworthy!" cred. Thomas did dissent from another denial, tossing a shot at the big Native American opinion Gorsuch wrote last term in the process.
