Authorship Outlook

No opinions from this panel have been decided yet, so authorship can't be narrowed — the 4 pending opinions could come from any of the panelists.

This is a statistical guess based on prior sittings in this dataset, not a prediction of the ruling.

Predicted Opinion Release

Likely between November 14, 2026 and June 28, 2027, with January 10, 2027 the most likely date.

Argued 43 days ago. Comparable cases at this stage almost always still pending — there's no useful tightening yet.
