Reading the orders you often see leave to file in forma pauperus, and then cert is denied. I thought "pauperus" allowed you to file without paying certain fees, and it was to ensure access to the courts for poor people. In the Thomas dissent, it was the State of Kansas that was granted leave to file pauperus. Kansas may be a poor state, but they can afford the filing fees. Are states routinely given advantages "regular folk" don't enjoy?

Okay, I think that's it for me today. Thanks so much for joining us. As of now, there are no other yellow opinion announcement dates marked on the calendar on the Court's website. If that changes, we'll post an editor's note as soon as we see it, and we'll of course be back to live blog whatever they have to announce. So much fun to be here with all of you. Take care, and hope to see you back here again soon!

SEC from Ronald Mann and of today's orders from Amy coming soon. Next conference will be on Thursday - our petitions page has been updated to reflect the petitions we're watching that will be discussed at Thursday's conference. See you all soon!
