SCOTUS Order Day

No opinion day scheduled so far, short week, and no drama order list. Doesn't mean nothing happened. Of course. And, that is without going into more leaks about the leak, this time about talk of going after clerks' cellphones.

A separate order, without comment, refused to shield three Republicans from being questioned under oath in lawsuits by the Biden administration and civil rights groups that claim new voting maps in Texas are racially discriminatory. There was also a stay (for now) regarding counting mail-in votes (usual target for "voter fraud" claims) for the Republian Pennsylvania primary. That was via Alito.

Then, ANOTHER important shadow docket case, this time a sensible hold of a lousy 5CA case, involving regulating social media. Five didn't say why they so held; Kagan didn't say why she opposed. Boo to both. The High Federalists used various bad arguments in dissent.
