SCOTUS releases a quiet Monday-morning order list. The court doesn't take up new cases. It denies review in Fitisemanu v. U.S., a case about citizenship for people born in U.S. territories; the case sought to overrule the racist "Insular Cases." https://supremecourt.gov/orders/courtorders/101722zor_9ok0.pdf

Roe, Roe, Roe your vote
against theocracy!
Republicans revoke your rights
and kill democracy!

THESE are the races that will determine control of the House of Representatives:
