Update, 8:33 am PDT Monday: Five down, three to go. No Panetti.

The remaining cases will almost surely be handed down Thursday. They include Jefferson County, a very controversial case on race and schools, which will be the focus of press coverage. The third case is Leegin Creative, an antitrust case on vertical price-fixing.

Playing the SCOTUS Sudoku game, Panetti is the only undecided case from the April calendar, and Justices Kennedy, Souter, Ginsburg, and Alito are the ones who have not written two opinions from that sitting. Not much of a clue there. Justice Kennedy has written one fewer than the others for the term as a whole.
