Supreme Court injects itself conveniently distracting from hearings

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Spazito (a host of the The DU Lounge forum).

First they “leaked”now it’s gun rights.

I call bullshit.


The more incriminating the evidence the more attention swirling around the Court in coinciding timelines. They haven’t been this focused on such explosive issues in such a short time period ever that I recall.

and then quits, croaks or is abducted by aliens before the opinion is released, it still counts.

Most people have been expecting these decisions to be released by the end of June for some time now, because that's when they traditionally try to wrap things up.

They also generally save the most impactful cases for last.

Here's an article explaining the usual timeline and the cases that remain:

This OP doesn't meet the criteria in the SOP for this forum:

Our social forum. Relax with your friends and talk about off-topic stuff.

This would be fine in General Discussion.
