Did you miss your Supreme Court news this week? Let our Weekly Roundup help. (To stay on top of the latest Supreme Court happenings, follow ISCOTUS on Twitter.)

Here on ISCOTUS, Christopher Schmidt surveyed the legal challenge to President Obama`s immigration reform, which the Court will hear this spring.

Justice Alito is “fine with the idea of judges being perfectly boring in public” writes Mark Walsh in an ABAJournal story on the Justice’s first decade on the High Court. Yet, Walsh notes, even this happily boring judge knows how to work an audience with “his understated sense of humor and his modesty.”

On Monday, the Court announced orders from its January 22 Conference.  The Court, noted The Economist, shied away from reviewing cases dealing with abortion or the death penalty: “It seems that the nine may have, for one reason or another, drawn themselves a line they’re not willing to cross. The orders of January 25 may be a sign they feel a tad skittish about extending their hand still further into America’s most contentious disputes.”  Further coverage on Monday’s orders can be found at SCOTUSblog.

An article on Crimmigration postulates that the Supreme Court’s recent decision in Mathis v. United States will significantly impact anyone “facing removal from the United States based on a criminal conviction.”

And with the presidential race in full flight, Supreme Court appointments remain a popular discussion topic. The Patriot Post considers the Court’s current lineup and the potential impact of the next justice.  And by the way, Obama has made clear that that next justice will not be him.
