The FEHBlog is out of town this weekend. He did check the Supreme Court’s order list this afternoon and nothing came out on the U.S. v Texas cases (Nos. 19-840 and 19-841). Next update will be 9:30 am on Monday when all of the orders from today’s conference are posted. We are waiting to learn whether or not the Supreme Court has decided to review the cases at this interim stage.
