Monday round-up

After a November argument sitting that featured two of the most significant cases of the term, the Supreme Court begins a two-week break from oral arguments. That break will end immediately after Thanksgiving weekend, when the justices will return to the virtual bench on Nov. 30 to hear yet another high-profile case: the latest dispute involving the U.S. census.
