To take the spotlight from the Jan 6 hearings.
Because that's what the Repugs do, play the Press like a $2 toy.

I need to add this is pure cynical speculation on my part.

[brooklynite]

1. I hate "we all know" assertions...especially lazy ones

The SC ruling is already news, so dropping the official version on Thursday won't have any impact on what happens Thursday evening.

[sprinkleeninow]

15. They may drop something 'juicy', in their estimation. ReptiliQuans 🦎 will try every which way.

[brooklynite]

16. As previously stated, the Court calendar is publicly available. NO decisions on Thursday.

[sprinkleeninow]

17. Now I see dat. So sorry. I apologize...

[Hekate]

2. Wait, is this you speculating, or is there some source?

Not that I don’t think they might drop the shiny object…

[elleng]

7. Speculation

[Zeitghost]

22. You're too kind

When you consider the courts schedule is very public, I'd say it's trolling.

[elleng]

23. Naturally!

[edhopper]

25. Mere speculation

I should have made that clearer.

[SoCalDavidS]

3. Yeah, I Could See That

But they usually save the biggest decisions until the end. My guess is they will wait until the last few decisions for the Abortion & Gun rulings.

[elleng]

6. Yes.

[madaboutharry]

4. I need to get my hat.

Seriously? If that happens then The SC needs to be abolished and we have to start from scratch.

[elleng]

5. To not be clouded by facts,

'Opinions are typically released on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings and on the third Monday of each sitting, when the Court takes the Bench but no arguments are heard. The Court maintains this schedule each Term until all cases ready for submission have been heard and decided.'

9. Thank-you

[chowder66]

18. Thanks.

[Raine]

20. THANKS for this info 👍 nt

8. Allison Gill - Mueller She Wrote - says

The same thing.

It's been on their calendar for months, she said on her pod Daily Beans, this morning.

So J6 scooped USSC!

[Karadeniz]

10. That's not appropriate... they should reschedule.

[brooklynite]

12. The can't reschedule what they didn't schedule in the first place

The Court schedule is posted on their website. Where anyone could have looked it up before engaging in baseless speculation.

Thursdays are conference meetings. Decisions will be issued on Wednesday.

11. Do you have some source for this?

That's not how the court works; they still have 30 cases to decide, and they save the big ones for the very end of the term - which technically isn't over until October, when a new term starts, but they normally release their last decisions before they go on recess in July.

[Polybius]

13. Will you come back in this thread Thursday night if you are wrong?

It seems people rarely apologize when their bold statements/predictions don't come true.

[edhopper]

28. Yes,

and I added that I am speculating.

[PlanetBev]

14. Don't think that hasn't passed through my head

But I’m guessing it will be the last week in June.

[maxsolomon]

19. Is this a prediction, or has it been announced?

I think it's the former.

[elleng]

21. Yes, or a GUESS,

UNEDUCATED guess, imo.

[edhopper]

29. Pure

speculation

[Princess Turandot]

24. The case is likely to generate long concurring and dissenting opinions beyond the majority decision.

There may even be separate opinions by more than one justice in those two categories. (Thomas manages to write one or the other of those for almost every case where he did not write the majority opinion. And Sotomayor also writes a ton of dissenting opinions.) For that reason alone, it will probably be one of their last releases.

And they may not want to be physically at the Court for additional opinion sessions, once it's out.

On the other hand, they might release it on Wednesday. Or add another opinion day, at the 11th hour on Wednesday, and issue it on Thursday, as you worry they will.

[msfiddlestix]

31. I don't believe for a nano second Thomas writes his own opinions. He simply isn't capable.

He has his surrogates do his filthy work.

[onenote]

26. Hit and run post that is demonstrably untrue

[edhopper]

30. Late night post

then I went to bed

[USALiberal]

33. Then this is a good time to self delete it

[Torchlight]

34. Then ok lol nt

[msfiddlestix]

27. Corrupt Scumbags

If I could be assured they would read any letters from the public, I'd send QAlito a few words weekly.

[USALiberal]

32. Maybe so delete this, You made it sound like it was proof

[raccoon]

35. I think you're absolutely correct. Nt

[Ocelot II]

36. Absolutely incorrect.

As other posts have pointed out, the court publishes its decision day schedule, and Thursday isn't one.

[Samrob]

37. If they do, they will free up a lot more votes for gun control. nt
