Another SCOTUS newbie here: what's the difference between issuing orders and delivering opinions?
-
Last year scotus blog had a graphic showing how many opinions each justice had written and how many remaining opinions were left to write. Is there a similar graphic for this year?
-
Will the Court always wait until any dissents are written before issuing an order? Is it enough to issue a majority opinion and allow dissents to be published later?
-
Are the justices constrained by the calendar or, if argumentation continues behind closed doors, will they continue discussion beyond June?
-
Once an opinion is delivered, what is the process for lower courts to apply the decisions that might impact cases already in progress?
-
When the Court's marshal makes the last announcement of the day, after opinions and admissions of lawyers, we will know if there will be other opinion days this week. As of this minute, we don't yet know.

Currently sitting on a beach in Barcelona glued to the screen while my friends frolic in the water. #waitingforLyle

I made the students in the summer class I'm teaching watch the liveblog with me last week. They were not amused.
-
The court certainly has to be aware of the magnitude of the cases before it, especially Burwell...making citizens wait for a ruling like that starts to seem a bit ridiculous at a cetain point...

Working on a Lyle/John Elwood buddy movie screenplay. Any ideas for a working title?

Q re Justices holidays which you mentioned earlier. When they go on vacation are they still on-call to deal with issues from the circuit they look after or does another Justice fill in ? -
Question: At 9:30, will we know whether they are announcing the Obergefell decision today? Or is it at 10? I'm confused, I apologize.
-
Once they start reading the opinions, how long does it usually take to get through them all for the day?
-
Do the justices "ride circuit" any more, or is that typically only done by the retired "senior" justices?
-
Do the parties in the cases ever get told when their decision will be handed down?
-
When a case is heard in the current term, are the justices required to render an opinion in the same term or can it be pushed to the next term?

The Bernie Madoff cases (which were G&R cases) were denied.
-
Wait, the Justices are "responsible" for a circuit? I've never heard of this before (and I like to think I'm pretty familiar with the Supreme Court.)!
-
Denial w/a statement by Sotomayor (joined by Breyer) in Carlton v. US, which was on Relist Watch this week.
-
No action on 14-181, Gobeille v. Liberty Mutual Insurance Co. Ct had called for the views of the Solicitor General in that one.
-
Why would a Justice make a statement on a denial? Is that unususal?
-
What is the difference between the court "not acting" and a "denial?" Could not acting be considered similar to a pocket veto - a denial through no action?
-
Court denied review in 14-1138, a case involving whether Texas is depleting the whooping crane population.
