More parlour games: I’ve taken a look at the most recent SCOTUSWiki Statpack, and updated it with figures since its publication on 6/9. For the March sitting (which included Citizens United, and was the shortest calendar of the year), the following Justices wrote majority opinions: Stevens, Kennedy, Souter, Thomas, and Breyer. That leaves: Roberts, Alito, Scalia, and Ginburg. I doubt Justice Scalia is writing. By my count, he’s already written 10 opinions, more than any other Justice. Ginsburg has written the least, but she’s not likely to be in a majority in this case, and I cannot recall a campaign finance opinion (majority or dissent) of any length that she’s written. My bet would be Justice Alito, which cannot be good news for supporters of BCRA (see his opinion last term in Davis, as well as his brief concurring opinions in Randall and WRTL). The Chief Justice likely had been very busy writing NAMUDNO, and I’m guessing he will have a hand in something in Ricci.
