Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[Dax1]

Some correspondence I’ve had with Amy Howe of SCOTUSBLOG.
Timeline is bottom up...I.e. start at the bottom, I just did cut and paste..

I think it would be very unusual for them not to decide Seila Law. It's a hard case (especially w/r/to what they do if they decide that the removal restrictions are unconstitutional) but not impossibly hard, and it was argued early enough in the term that they should be able to resolve it before the end of June/beginning of July. 

There are 19 cases left to decide. They have occasionally carried cases over, as they did last year with Sharp v. Murphy: We don't know for sure, but the conventional wisdom was that, with Justice Gorsuch recused, they were deadlocked and decided to deal with it by carrying it over to the next term . . . at which point they granted a new case, McGirt v. Oklahoma, that involved the same issue but from which Gorsuch was not recused. 

Take care, and stay well,
Amy

Is there any chance we don’t get an order on Seila law vs CFPB?...this year.
How many argued cases are left for this year’s court. Have they ever let any argued cases to carryover to next year?
Thank you again,
You have been very helpful.

Unless it's the last day of the term, we don't know when a particular opinion will come down. The Court generally announces its opinion days the week before -- normally on Thursdays at this time of year, after the justices' conference. For the most part, I would expect (although there is no guarantee) opinions on Mondays each week, and then at some point the Court will also add additional opinion days. In past years they have added Thursdays first, but it's a little murkier this year because they don't have to take the bench to release opinions. You can see opinion announcement days on the Court's calendar; we also try to note them on SCOTUSblog when we learn of them.

Is there anyway to tell when a judgement will be released?   Do they note when judgements will come, such as providing dates on their calendar of conferences, or opinions. Maybe not announcing dates for each case , but do they have a pattern for announcing judgements, such as every other Thursday or last Friday of each month?

Thanks again for your patience,

I think we will hear it before the Court's summer recess, whenever that is. Normally they finish up before the end of June, but we don't know whether that will still be the case this year when they held oral arguments later than normal AND they may not have anywhere to go in July. (The flip side of that argument is that they have far fewer cases than normally to decide.) Hope this is somewhat useful . . . 


Amy , do you think we will hear a judgment? , from SCOTUS on Seila vs CFPB, this session?...June or July.

Thanks,
