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.

We have Diaz v. US. It is by Justice Thomas. It is NOT the last opinion.

We have the fourth and final opinion of the day . It is a per curiam opinion in Gonzalez v. Trevino, announced by the Chief.
