-
The Court hears oral arguments in two criminal cases today, Turner/Overton v. United States and Honeycutt v. United States.
-
We could also get opinions today in one or more argued cases.
-
This blog's Andrew Hamm has helpfully compiled a list of outstanding cases from October through January. From October, there is only one case left: Manrique v. United States. Justice Clarence Thomas is the only justice who has not yet written for October, so you can do the math.
-
From November, there are three cases left: Venezuela v. Helmerich & Payne International, Bank of America v. Miami, and Sessions (formerly Lynch) v. Morales-Santana. Two justices have not yet written for this month -- Breyer and Ginsburg -- so we can expect them to be writing one each; pretty much anyone could be writing the third.
-
Lyle did an excellent blog discussion on Moore v. Texas. I miss him. still love the blog though.
-
in a general sense how long does it take for the Court to deliver an opinion after hearing oral arguments?
-
Any idea when it would be plausible to hear the opinion on Packingham v North Carolina?
-
For December, we have three justices who haven't written -- Roberts, Alito, and Kagan -- and two cases -- Jennings v. Rodriguez and McCrory v. Harris.
-
any ew news or opinion,on kindred health care case?
-
The five-minute buzzer sounded, and we have one box of opinions.
-
Are there any exceptions to the rule that each justice gets an opinion from a sitting before anyone gets two?
-
Any thoughts or rumors on when Dimaya could come down? (i.e. whether the "residual clause" portion of the crime-of-violence definition of 16b is void for vagueness in light of Scalia's Johnson opinion?)
-
One decision, in Expressions Hair Design v Schniderman
-
Issue is credit card fees; merchants who want to pass them on can impose a surcharge when you use a credit card or offer a discount when you use cash.
-
The question is whether ban regulates speech of merchants and if so whether the ban violates First Amendment
-
The court concludes that the statute does regulate speech, sends case back to 2nd circuit to decide whether it is unconstitutional.
-
Ronald Mann will have our analysis in this case. Here is the opinion. www.supremecourt.gov
-
Breyer concurs in judgment; Sotomayor concurs in judgment, joined by Alito.
-
Is this second Roberts opinion in Jan? (Meaning, among other things, he won't be writing Dimaya)
-
Does this mean next chance for opinions is not until April sitting - i.e., April 18?
-
Is this the first time for a Sotomayor-Alito joint concurrence?
-
Sure would make sense to distribute the opinions in some online format rather than printing them for the press.
