We have two boxes again today. For those of you who are new or new-ish here, the number of boxes of opinions waiting in the Public Information Office to be distributed at 10 am is a rough proxy for the number of opinions that we might get. As an illustration, yesterday there were two boxes and we got four opinions. The opinion in Hernandez v Mesa was reasonably long, while the opinions in McKinney and Rodriguez were pretty short.
