At Volokh, Professor Elwood queries why the Supreme Court has not handed down any opinions yet. Historically, opinions have been issued by Thanksgiving. Professor Elwood predicts that “things should get clearer  next week.”

I am eagerly awaiting the first opinion of the term, especially Citizens United (Hillary Movie Case). Check out the 10th Justice’s Predictions for that case. If you haven’t predicted Citizens United, or other argued cases, do so soon. Once the case is decided, obviously, you can no longer predict that case, and you lose out on points!

For those of you interested, here is the breakdown of hand-down dates over the last two decades:

OT08 11/12 Roberts
OT07 12/4 Roberts
OT06 11/13 Kennedy (Ayers v. Belmontes)
