The U.S. Supreme Court has been in the news lately for all the wrong reasons. The “dog days of summer” were filled with news of ethics allegations, financial disclosures and cries for congressional oversight. Against that backdrop, the justices will surely be happy to turn their focus to the interesting legal questions that fill the court’s docket. Some of the upcoming cases include:

Constitutional Law—First Amendment

O’Connor-Ratcliff v. Garnier (9th Cir.) and Lindke v. Freed (6th Cir.)—whether a public official engages in state action subject to the First Amendment by blocking an individual from the official’s personal social media account, when the official uses the account to feature their job and communicate about job-related matters with the public, but does not do so pursuant to any governmental authority or duty.
