Happy Thursday Everyone!

It’s the first of two opinion days this week at the Supreme Court. The justices will convene at 10 AM ET to deliver one or more opinions in argued cases this term. As the list of cases still pending start to shrink, we should have a better understanding of which justice has the *final* set of opinions.

We will hopefully know more this afternoon about any opinion days next week, we expect more than two given the time of the month.

NEW: Here is the first opinion of the day from the Supreme Court. It is a 7-2 (or 5-4 depending on how you look at it) delivered by Justice Kavanaugh. Justice Barrett filed an opinion concurring in the judgment, in which Alito joined. Justice Thomas filed a dissenting opinion in which Justice Gorsuch joined. The case is called Moore V United States

NEW: Here is the second opinion of the day from the Supreme Court. It is a 6-3 decision delivered by Justice Kagan. Justice Thomas filed a dissenting opinion, in which Alito joined. Justice Gorsuch filed a lone dissent. The case is called Chiaverini v. City of Napoleon.

NEW: Here is the fourth (and final) opinion of the day from the Supreme Court. It is a Per Curiam opinion, meaning we don’t know who authored it. At first glance, it appears 8-1 with Thomas being the lone dissenter.

Stay tuned for later today as we should know when the next opinion day, other than tomorrow, will be. The Court still has over a dozen of cases pending, which means we could have up to three (or four) opinion days next week, but we won’t know anything until later. We will let you know when they announce more days! We might be heading into July this year, only time will tell

NEW: The Supreme Court will announce one or more opinions in argued cases next Wednesday June 26, in addition to tomorrow morning. This means that if there are more days *added* next week, they will likely be Thursday and/or Friday.

Happy Friday Everyone!

We’ll find out at 10 AM ET when they begin releasing more decisions in argued cases.

Good Wednesday morning everyone!


It’s round one of three rounds of opinions this week, the justices will convene at 10amET to deliver one or more opinions in argued cases this term. There are still a dozen outstanding cases for the Court to issue opinions on, including abortion, Chevron, and Presidential immunity. Chances are we will likely receive one of those today.

As always, when the opinion is available on the website, we will send it here. Stay tuned and buckle up!

Here is a link to the opinion: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/23-108_8n5a.pdf

That’s all for today folks. Only two opinions today, which means unless the Supreme Court somehow releases the rest of the docket over the next two days, there is a likelihood that we will be coming back in July (next week) for more opinion days. Join back here tomorrow morning same time for another set of opinions, *hopefully* more than what was released today.

FYI: It appears that an unreleased Supreme Court decision was *briefly* made public on the Court’s website this afternoon for a moment before shortly being taken down. As a reminder, a Supreme Court opinion is not final until it’s officially released from the justices themselves during the regular opinion releasing sessions. If *that* opinion is released tomorrow, it will be sent to this channel as all other opinions have and will be when they are made available.
