Possibility of Heller Ruling Today

There’s a good chance it could be today. Stay tuned for details.

UPDATE: The Court will begin announcing opinions at 10AM today. This is the next to the last day in the session when opinions will be announced. Monday the 23rd will be the last day.

UPDATE: The court has begun to release opinions. One announced so far, and is not Heller.

UPDATE: Bitter hopes it’s released Monday, so she has time to work on something she’s doing related to Heller. I’m hoping for today, because I have a meeting on Monday at the time the Supreme Court is releasing decisions.

UPDATE: Three opinions so far. No Heller.

UPDATE: Not today. Sorry folks.

UPDATE: There’s Monday, but also the possibility of Wednesday or Tuesday of next week.

I’m hoping for Monday because I’m going to be gone this weekend and will have limited blogging time.

Drag, I am in seminar all week next week. Going to be distracted.

At Scotus blog (10:11) they said Souter and Scalia are the only Justices w/o an opinion from March. Then Souter wrote one- Does this indicate Scalia is likely to write Heller?

All’s I know is that I already have possesion of my Heller celebration gun. Will pay for it when the decision is announced.

A majority opinion in Heller, authored by Scalia, could be very interesting indeed.

Man…watching the ScotusBlog this morning was a nail-biter. My heart rate must have been up at least 20 BPM.

This is all so very exciting…

No.

There’s a good chance it could be today.

There’s also a good chance it wont be today. Or even next week. Might even not come out till the fall. Simply put, the court doesn’t work under any time frame but their own self imposed time frame. I once waited 2 years for a decision from a Federal Appeals court. not saying we will have to wait that long . . . . but . . . . . .
