On Tuesday, the Supreme Court released orders from the October 6 conference. The court set two original-jurisdiction cases on its docket, Texas v. New Mexico and Florida v. Georgia, for oral argument “in due course.” The court also called for the views of the solicitor general in Apple v. Pepper. The court heard oral argument in Hamer v. Neighborhood Housing Services of Chicago on Tuesday and in National Association of Manufacturers v. Department of Defense and Jesner v. Arab Bank on Wednesday. The calendar for the October sitting is available on the court’s website.
