Today at SCOTUS: No abortion (that was yesterday), no guns (that's tomorrow), but two more oral arguments -- one on free speech and the other on arbitration and federal jurisdiction.
First up will be Houston Community College System v. Wilson. It's a case brought by a member of a community college board who claims the college violated his First Amendment rights by censuring him for critical speech. Here's @AHoweBlogger's preview:

Next will be Badgerow v. Walters, a case that began as an employment-discrimination lawsuit and now raises thorny questions about federal courts' jurisdiction to confirm or vacate arbitration awards.

Arguments begin at 10 a.m. EDT. You can listen live here: supremecourt.gov/oral_arguments…

The court has gaveled into session. John Roberts notes that Neil Gorsuch, who has a stomach bug, is participating in arguments remotely for the second day in a row.
Arguing first: Paul Clement, who represents two individuals who applied for licenses to carry concealed handguns in New York but were rejected because they did not show "proper cause" or a "special need" for self-defense.

Coming up soon: The Supreme Court hears arguments in a pair of challenges to the Texas law that bans nearly all abortions after six weeks of pregnancy. We'll be live-tweeting the arguments here in this thread. You can listen to the arguments live here: supremecourt.gov/oral_arguments…
The court will hear two cases starting at 10 a.m. EDT. The first case was filed by abortion clinics in Texas. The question is whether the state can rely on a private-enforcement structure to insulate the abortion ban from judicial review in federal courts.

The second case was filed by the Biden administration. The question is whether the federal government has the ability to sue Texas (or public officials or private parties) to block the abortion law.

NEW: In Monday morning order list, the Supreme Court agrees to hear two new cases: Ysleta del Sur Pueblo v. Texas, and Denezpi v. United States. The full order list is here: supremecourt.gov/orders/courtor…
Both cases are about Native American law. Ysleta involves the regulation of gambling on tribal land. Denezpi asks whether a tribal court counts as a "federal agency" (such that a person convicted in the tribal court cannot be later prosecuted in U.S. district court).
Also in today's order list, SCOTUS summarily reverses the rulings of two lower courts that had allowed lawsuits against police officers to proceed. SCOTUS says the officers in both cases are entitled to qualified immunity. No noted dissents from either reversal.

Today at SCOTUS: The justices are back in the courtroom for their second day of in-person arguments. They'll hear two cases about the rights of people accused or convicted of crimes.
First, Brown v. Davenport is about circumstances in which a state violates a defendant's constitutional rights at trial, but state courts find that the violation was "harmless." How should federal courts review that finding? @PrimusEve previews the case: scotusblog.com/2021/10/justic…
Second, Hemphill v. NY involves a clash between the Sixth Amendment right to cross-examine adverse witnesses and a state evidentiary rule intended to prevent defendants from introducing misleading evidence that goes unrebutted. Shaakirrah Sanders explains: scotusblog.com/2021/10/will-t…
