SCOTUS decision on Texas redistricting possible today
watch scotus blog today for up to date developments: http://www.scotusblog.com/moveabletype

It's possible that the decision won't be until Thursday or later. See below for an indication that this Supreme Court session won't end today.

Here was what scotusblog reported on Monday (notice the early time of the posting, so watch this blog early in the day):

Monday, June 26, 2006
Decisions: campaign finance limits nullified; five rulings overall

Posted by Lyle Denniston at 10:12 AM

(NOTE: The next decision day will be Wednesday, the Supreme Court announced. Five decisions remain (see below). Presumably, Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., will announce on Wednesday when the Term will end. The fact that he did not do so Monday indicates that there will be opinions on both Wednesday and at least one other day -- Thursday, Friday or Monday.)

UPDATE 11:17 a.m.


Here are the cases remaining to be decided:
04-1739 -- Beard v. Banks (right of dangerous prison inmates to have access to newspapers, magazines and photographs)
04-10566 (and a companion case) -- Sanchez-Llamas v. Oregon (state court duty to obey World Court ruling on arrested foreign nationals' access to a consular officer)
05-184 -- Hamdan v. Rumsfeld (Supreme Court power to decide constitutionality of war-on-terrorism war crimes tribunals, and the merits of that constitutional question)
05-204 (and three companion cases) -- League of United Latin American Citizens v. Perry (validity of Texas congressional redistricting plan)
05-5966 -- Clark v. Arizona (right to make an insanity defense to disprove criminal intent).
