The U.S. Supreme Court will issue the third and last of its summer orders lists tomorrow. The Court's press release last June noted, "Summer order lists usually consist of actions taken by the Court on motions in pending cases, petitions for rehearing, and other miscellaneous matters." Translation: they're generally boring. Everybody's watching the petition for rehearing in the child rape case of Kennedy v. Louisiana (opinion here, docket here), but it probably won't be on tomorrow's orders list. The docket does not indicate a response to the petition has been filed yet.

Update, Friday: The list is here. As expected, no action on Kennedy and a bunch of routine stuff. The one surprise is that the Solicitor General actually got turned down on a request to argue as amicus. It's in a use-of-union-dues case, Locke v. Karass. Lyle Denniston has this post at SCOTUSblog.
