Access today’s Order List of the U.S. Supreme Court: At this link. The Court granted review in four new cases.

In addition, in Scenic America, Inc. v. Dep’t of Transp., No. 16-739, Justice Neil M. Gorsuch issued a statement, in which Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr. and Samuel A. Alito, Jr. joined, respecting the denial of certiorari.

And in Truehill v. Florida, No. 16-9448, Justice Stephen G. Breyer issued a dissent from denial of certiorari. And Justice Sonia Sotomayor also issued a dissent, in which Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Breyer joined, from the denial of certiorari. Because four votes are needed to grant certiorari in a case, if Justice Elena Kagan (or any other Justice for that matter) had voted to grant certiorari, this death penalty case would have landed on the Court’s merits docket.
