BREAKING 2A SCOTUS: No order today in Snope (AR ban) or Ocean State (mag ban). This confirms they won't be heard this 2024-25 term. Best case: 2A must cheer that SCOTUS grants cert for cases to be heard in fall 2025. Worse case: cert is denied and someone issues dissent therefrom

In my view, a per curium opinion like we saw in Caetano is not possible in the Snope or Ocean State cases. It is a theoretical possibility but I don't see it given the importance of those cases. Our best chance, which would not be terrible, is that they grant cert for next term.
