One wouldn't necessarily consider the U.S. Supreme Court's summer recess a busy time for the U.S. Solicitor General's Office. With the justices decamped to far-flung locales for speeches, teaching gigs and vacations until the start of the new term this fall, it's hard to imagine the office as a hive of activity.

Yet U.S. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar and her team of government Supreme Court lawyers have filed a flurry of papers in the high court in recent weeks advocating for the Biden administration's position in a number of high-profile cases. A small sampling of those include opposing First Amendment liability for public officials who block critics on private social media accounts, encouraging the justices to weigh the constitutionality of Texas and Florida's new social media laws, and a defense of the federal law disarming individuals with domestic restraining orders.
