The Supreme Court’s Last Penultimate Day: Say Goodbye to October Term 2006
David Souter is signing Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s yearbook. Sam Alito is hoping he’ll get a better locker next year. Nino Scalia is mapping out which European restaurants he’s going to hit this summer. Yes, that’s right: today is the last scheduled day of the Supreme Court’s Term.
The justices are handing down opinions as we type. We’ll have coverage and links pertaining to today’s decisions in a subsequent post.
Will there be any surprises? Or will the paramount importance of Justice Kennedy simply be further confirmed — as if this fact, noted by the astute Jim Ho, wasn’t revealing enough?
Check back soon for more.
Update / correction: Today was, according to the Court’s OT 2006 calendar (PDF), the last scheduled non-argument session. But because the justices didn’t hand down all of the Term’s opinions today, they will issue more decisions on Thursday.

CJ doesn't like Bong Hits 4 Jesus - this is a travesty.
Lat, you are jumping the gun. The Court will issue opinions on Thursday. OT '06 is not yet complete.
yeah, brown v. board won't be gutted for at least a few more days.
The title is misleading and wrong. The Court will announce opinions on Thursday.
10:53,
Despite being glaringly inaccurate, you're correct that the media will interpret the Schools cases as "gutting" Brown.
Lat, thank god you're back. Billy Merck barely made it out of last week alive!
Forgive me my ignorance, but if the Justices are off, are their clerks off, too? I.e., are SCOTUS clerkships only from October to June?
