The Supreme Court opens its new term this morning. Washington Times reports that the traditional Red Mass that precedes the Court's new term was held yesterday at Washington's Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle. Chief Justice Roberts, Justice Barret and retired Justice Breyer attended. Among the cases already on the Court's docket for this term is 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis (SCOTUS blog case page). The date for its oral argument has not yet been set. In the case, the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the application of Colorado's Anti-Discrimination Act to a wedding website design company whose owner for religious reasons refuses to create websites that celebrate same-sex marriages. (See prior posting.) The Court granted review only on the free speech issue in the case. The Court will continue to broadcast live audio feed of oral arguments at this link. We can also expect the traditional First Monday long Order List to be released this morning.
