There is no conference this week, and the justices would not normally have been scheduled to take the bench for arguments next Monday, so I would not necessarily expect opinions next Monday. Although there has been no word from the court, I would still expect (given the looming primary tomorrow) an order in the Wisconsin election case today.

I think that's about it for now. Thanks so much for joining us today. Please stay apart, and stay well! If, as we expect, there are no orders or opinions next week, we'll see you back here in two weeks. And if we get an order in the Wisconsin case today, we'll be tweeting and posting about it.
