Counting down to NYSRPA

Posted by David Hardy · 22 June 2022 09:48 AM

The Supreme Court always releases the most controversial opinions of each Term at its very end (usually the end of June, sometimes going a bit into July). The joke was that they want to release them then so they can get out of town before the mob forms. This year that's no joke.

The Court has 13 opinions left to give. It's been modifying its calendar (as usually happens) to add more argument release days. A few days ago, opinion releases were set for tomorrow, Thursday, and this coming Monday. As of this morning, the schedule is for opinion releases Thursday and Friday, and order releases (routine things that don't require the Court to formally appear) for Monday. Monday can also be switched to an opinion release day if necessary.

I'm betting on a 6-3, with Thomas or Barrett writing the opinion, meaning "text, tradition, and history" will be major. Since they read opinions in reverse order of seniority, odds are it will come at the very start or the end of the day.

I'm hopeful, but I am always reminded of Gideon J. Tucker's quote about the safety of our life, liberty, or property while the legislature is in session. SCOTUS is no different, as they have pumped out some steaming piles of crap over the last 230 years, including some since Roberts was seated. I'll hold off on the party until I see how it sounds when the fat lady starts singing.

…I wonder how influenced the Black Robed Bandits will be, given the Senates latest gun control bill. If they only voted on legal matters we wouldn’t be nervous. But politics is what the court is all about, and the legal mumbling to clad it in high sounding phrases. Whatever their decisions, they’ve crapped in their opinions so often I and many others have no respect or faith in them as a court of law.
