Supreme Court: Order List

The Supreme Court, now more Trumpy, continues its November sitting. There are two argument days (not too exciting), a conference, and more orders due next week.  The next set of arguments will be next month.

Today's Order List is not too notable. A case is granted, vacated, and remanded (GVR) based on the federal government's brief granting error and addressing a lower court's interest to cover other ground. The government put off the reply for an extended period. 

Justice Gorsuch would have taken two cases involving rent control and the Takings Clause. The Solicitor General was given argument time in a case next month, reminding people the current S.G.'s time is running out.  

Meanwhile, to remind people about the crimes of Donald Trump, which the Supreme Court has aided and abetted.  People are now shifting into "let's talk about the new administration" mode. 

I think we should also remember his crimes and unfitness are not going away.  To remind us a bit, the Supreme Court (as expected) rejected a case to transfer his chief of staff's case from Georgia to federal court. A bunch of Georgia defendants are still going to trial (in theory) in the next year or two.  

ETA: The former SCOTUSBlog lead reporter argued the result in the Meadows case was "surprising." 

I am not surprised they wanted to avoid the issue.
