Document:
is there any historical precedent for a justice starting in the middle of a term?
Here's Lyle with today's order list.
Jennings v. Rodriguez, involving immigrant detention, and NLRB v. SW General, regarding who is an acting government official.
They have turned down the challenge to Connecticut's ban on assault weapons.
We have a few CVSGs.
Combined cases Sandoz v. AmGen and AmGen v. Sandoz are CVSGs, as is Impression Products v. Lexmark International.
In the FAQs you wrote that "Justice Samuel Alito is almost certainly writing the Court’s opinion in this case, because he is the only Justice who has not yet written for the Court’s March sitting" for the RJR case. Does this mean each Justice writes a decision for each month? Does each Justice write the same number of opinions?
There is a vacate and remand in Williams v. Louisiana; remand for further consideration in light of Foster v. Chatman. Justice Ginsburg concurs in the decision to vacate and remand, joined by Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan.
There is a dissent from the decision to vacate by Alito, joined by Thomas.
There is another post-Foster case, Flowers v. Mississippi; Alito, joined by Thomas, dissents from the decision to grant, vacate, and remand.
Any thoughts that US v Texas will not be a tie since the decision is not issued yet. If it were 4-4 vote, it seems they would have issued the one sentence decision by now.
Which case was it where Justice Thomas broke his silence and asked a question at oral argument?
Have they started issuing opinions yet?
Fisher cant' be 4:4 because J. Kagan recused herself.
For those of you who are just joining us, we just got orders from last week's conference a few minutes ago; we are expecting one or more opinions in argued cases at 10 am.
Any rumors about whether a new SG will get nominated before the election?
For cases that were *not* denied, when is the docket usually updated to reflect a relist for the next conference?
Why exactly did J. Kagan recuse herself from Fisher?
Does a 4-3 decision still have the same legal weight as a 5-4 decision?
What happened to the poor clerks working for the late Justice Scalia? We're they reassigned to help other justices?
Have any justices in the recent past ever campaigned for presidential candidates?
Hi all, how soon in advance will the Court announce whether they will have additional opinion days this week?
What is the CT assault weapons ban case?
Even though a 4-3 decision has the same legal weight as a 5-4 decision, could the death of Justice Scalia lead at least one justice to look for a more narrow holding?
How long do the Justices take to discuss cases pre- and post-argument (before they start passing draft opinions around)? Do they have a set amount of time they allocate for discussion, or is it more free-wheeling?
Re justices campaigning, Douglas wanted to be VP in 1944 and had people working for him at the convention but played it too coy and Truman got it.
Do you think if you could predict Whole Woman's Health will be dramatic and extreme, or a narrow ruling specific only to Texas?
Any dissents in refusing to hear the assault weapons case (a la Thomas and Scalia in Highland Park)?
What's the shortest/longest time a Justice has been in the most senior and junior roles?
Have any of the justices reduced the number of clerks for the next session?
I know the justices try to write an equal number of opinions. This term there are 69 argued cases. Subtracting 2 written by Scalia, 2 4-4 ties, 1 dismissed, and 2 consolidated into 1, that leaves 63 argued cases. 8 opinions a Justice less 1. Is it possible/likely any Justice will write more than 8 opinions?
The junior justice still has to answer the door of the conference room, correct?
Will the court take up Texas again in the future if it's 4:4?
Lyle's comment on Justice Douglas got cut off...what did he say?
Are the justices writing more dissents from cert. decisions (whether denials or vacate & remands) this Term than in the past?
How many people were in line for the court today?
Three boxes of opinions today!!!!!
