Apologies if this has already been mentioned, but we don't know how many cases we are getting today or which ones. Right now, the justices only have one other day scheduled to take the bench -- next Monday -- but they will presumably add at least two or three more, although we don't know which ones yet. My guess would be that they will add Thursday this week and Tuesday and Wednesday of next week, but this is just a guess.

And before we get ahead of ourselves, we are expecting orders from last week's cases at 9:30 am. The sequel to the Masterpiece Cakeshop case, Klein v. Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries, was up at last week's conference, although there's no reason to believe that this week will be the week that the justices act on it.

I think it was Amy that mentioned printing the census and someone else commented that most people would complete the form online but they would still need to print tens of millions of letters to tell people to do it on line and to give them access codes etc and those will still take a long time to print.
BUT a question related to the case - will the Justices have considered the evidence that was released a couple of weeks ago re one of the consultants and their liaising with the Commerce Departments? It seems ,to me, to have a pretty big impact on the case. -
