Has any opinion been held over until the next session? Can an opinion be held over until next session?

Yes - but the GSE cases opinion will almost certainly be out by July 2.

From the footnotes

"This holds for 99 percent of the cases. Only reargued cases are held over. Of the 7400 cases decided between the 1946 and 2012 terms, 171 were reargued but only 34 in the same term."

"The Supreme Court’s term begins on the first Monday in October. The Court begins its summer recess in June or early July. Of the 67 terms in our dataset (1946–2012), only 12 ended in July (OT 1995 was the last to do so)."

Just to make sure this time, I have volunteered to drive the Supreme Court's bus to Myrtle Beach. I told them I would pick them up at 5:15 PM sharp on July 2 at the 1St entrance and that if they miss the bus, they will have to face the press. So I guarantee this will be over by 5 that afternoon.

Hope this helps.

Based on what I read the justices can hold a case over. It's rare, but there are not any laws that says they can't.
