Predicted Opinion Release
Likely between November 9, 2026 and March 10, 2028, with January 26, 2027 the most likely date.
Argued 413 days ago. The case has now outlasted nearly every comparable prior case (99% of mass consumed); a separate writing or a contentious majority is likely in progress.
80% predictive interval from a log-logistic accelerated-failure-time model fit on 2,134 prior decided cases plus 111 currently-pending cases as right-censored evidence. Updates as days pass with no opinion. How this is calculated →
