The Order List was a bit longer than usual, and yes, there was a bit extra. Among the usual nothingburger, Justice Jackson has her first solo dissent to flag the overuse of Munsingwear vacatur (when courts vacate opinions that become moot). SCOTUSblog recently had a podcast on this bit of inside baseball among the "shadow docket" (Vladeck book in May). The specific case (involving abortion) is here.
The oral arguments this week are highlighted by one about Jack Daniels being upset about a dog toy parody. But, first, we have water rights for Native Americans. Sotomayor is feeling under the weather (did Gorsuch give her something?!) and took part remotely.
Meanwhile, Biden never had a tie-break as a vice president, but has a veto now. There is a filibuster-free means to overturn federal policies and one was found a couple of Democrats in the Senate supported. Well, got that footnote out of the way.
