John Elwood (barely) reviews Monday’s relisted cases.

For a second week, my day job is inexplicably crowding out my efforts to bring the legal market to a screeching halt by inserting malicious hyperlinks into purportedly humorous SCOTUSblog posts. While not being the “Relist Watch guy” has precipitated something of an identity crisis, it has at least succeeded in increasing my productivity. And it has definitively answered those small-minded people who thought that Relist Watch really couldn’t get any worse.

Thanks to Bryan U. Gividen for compiling the cases, and in the process, largely drafting this post. Our normal waste of time will return eventually.
