Lots more cert denials and Rehaif GVRs in second SCOTUS order list of OT19

The Supreme Court this morning has released this relatively short order list, although the list of cases in which certiorari has been denied still runs about 10 pages.  The order list, like the one last week, starts with a list of cases in which "certiorari is granted, [t]he judgment is vacated, and the case is remanded" to the relevant Court of Appeals."  But all the Supreme Court's GVR work this week — six cases to be exact — relates to its mens rea ruling in Rehaif v. US, No. 17-9560 (S. Ct. June 21, 2019) (available here; discussed here).   In his Rehaif dissent, Justice Alito fretted that "great many convictions will be subject to challenge...."  Indeed.
