Supreme Court orders list is here: supremecourt.gov/orders/courtor…
Some interesting dissents. Gorsuch argues that the 6th Amendment guarantees a 12-member jury for serious crimes. Kavanaugh would also take up the case.

Thomas once again calls for overruling the Feres doctrine, a judge-made principle that bars military personnel from suing for an injury "incident to military service." (I think he's absolutely right.) supremecourt.gov/orders/courtor…
Sotomayor, joined by Jackson, would summarily reverse a lower court decision finding that a prosecutor's egregious and prejudicial misconduct at trial was a "harmless error." (The facts are galling.) supremecourt.gov/orders/courtor…
Gorsuch dissents from the court's refusal to take up a case designed to overrule Chevron deference (with very sympathetic facts—he loves doing this!). supremecourt.gov/orders/courtor…
The court also dismisses, as moot, an appeal in a one person/one vote case from Michigan. (This case was actually a cynical attack on Michigan's independent redistricting commission, so I deem this a good outcome.) supremecourt.gov/orders/courtor…
Finally, I believe this is Justice Jackson's first opinion of any kind on the Supreme Court, dissenting (with Sotomayor) from the court's refusal to summarily reverse the 6th Circuit in a Brady case. supremecourt.gov/orders/courtor…
