What’s Left on the Supreme Court’s Docket
By DAN MCLAUGHLIN
June 18, 2024 3:15 PM
The Supreme Court is scheduled to deliver opinions this Thursday and Friday. There should be 21 opinions remaining because there are 23 cases left, including two pairs (the Chevron challenges and the Florida and Texas social-media laws) that are consolidated and likely to be decided together. We will likely get at least five or six opinions this week, maybe as many as nine. The Court will need to schedule more opinion days next week, probably at least three of them if it intends to wrap up the term by the end of the week; otherwise, it could spill over to July 1 or 2.
I keep a running tally of the cases. Here is a quick at-a-glance summary of what’s left:
Here’s a more detailed chart with the dates of the arguments and the questions presented in the petitions:
It’s early yet to speculate on who will be writing the Court’s opinion in which cases, but Justice Sonia Sotomayor has thus far published seven opinions representing the decision of the Court, and Justice Clarence Thomas six; it will be surprising if we get more from Thomas and more surprising if we get more from Sotomayor. By contrast, Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Neil Gorsuch have each published just two opinions with the decision of the Court, and Justice Amy Coney Barrett three; they will likely have more, and Roberts’s status as the senior justice (by virtue of being the chief) means that he is apt to claim some of the real institutional headliners, probably including the presidential-immunity decision in Trump v. United States. There’s only one case left from the November sitting of the Court — Rahimi, the Second Amendment case — and the likeliest author of that opinion is either Roberts or Elena Kagan, neither of whom have published an opinion for the Court from the cases argued in that sitting.

Good morning, everyone! Welcome to our live blog.
We're expecting one or more opinions in argued cases today. As usual, the court does not announce how many opinions it will release or which ones.
The press room is busy today, with lots of reporters and interns to run the opinions out to the TV reporters waiting on the plaza outside the court.
We're at the point of the term where we could get pretty much anything in terms of opinions, but we are still waiting on US v. Rahimi from November, as well as three opinions -- SEC v. Jarkesy, Harrington v. Purdue Pharma, and Moore v. US -- from December.

We have the first opinion. It is Moore v. US by Kavanaugh.
The vote appears to be 7-2, with Thomas and Gorsuch in dissent.

This is a case about whether a provision of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act known as the “mandatory repatriation tax,” which required U.S. taxpayers who owned shares in foreign corporations to pay a one-time tax on their share of the corporation’s earnings, violates the Constitution.
