Three cases remain to be decided on Monday: Ricci v. DeStefano, the New Haven firefighters case; Citizens United v. FEC, a First Amendment challenge to the application of campaign-finance laws to a film critical of Hillary Clinton; and Cuomo v. Clearing House Ass’n, which presents a seemingly obscure banking-law question.
Justice Kennedy is the only justice who hasn’t yet issued a majority opinion from the April calendar. Both Ricci and Cuomo are from April. My guess is that Kennedy will write in Cuomo and that Chief Justice Roberts assigned himself the opinion in Ricci.
Citizens United is the only remaining case from the March calendar. Only six cases were argued that month, so guesswork is a little more difficult. Justices who haven’t yet issued majority opinions for March are the Chief, Scalia, Ginsburg, and Alito. My bet is that the Chief (who I’m assuming was in the majority at conference) assigned Citizens United either to himself or to Alito. (Scalia leads the justices with ten majority opinions for the term, and he was assigned two in February. Ginsburg, like Alito, has only seven majority opinions, but I’m guessing that she and the Chief were not on the same page at conference.)
