I’m surprised they didn’t just find a scapegoat clerk to fire and call it a day. ~Max ---

It seems the justices are protective of their clerks. Not to mention the clerks are presumably very intelligent lawyers in their own right and not so easy to walk over. Just guessing though. I really don’t know. ---

In addition, this has been one of the least productive Supreme Courts in over 150 years. They’ve taken a small number of cases, and, even with that, they’re way behind in the issuance of their opinions. It’s traditionallthat the Supreme Courts have their rulings done by July 4th, but unless this court picks up the pace a ton, they’ll miss that too. I do not think history will look too kindly on the current Roberts Court. ---

OK, so, back to topic, when is the Supreme Court going to issue the ruling? We were told it was June and June is now 2/3 over. ---

The Court releases decisions on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. Sometimes on Monday but I’m not sure how often. So we could see something as early as tomorrow. ---

I’m aware. It’s also not Tuesday or Wednesday. Mondays aren’t normal days for opinions to come out but it has happened occasionally. T & W are the standard days.
