SCOTUSblog is once again live-blogging from First Street this morning. Today and tomorrow are expected to be the last days that the Court will announce opinions. There are major opinions still to come, including Heller. According to SCOTUSblog, there are seven opinions yet to be announced. Davis v. FEC, of course, is one of them.

UPDATE: Not today. SCOTUSblog is predicting that Alito will be authoring the opinion in Davis. They also report that the opinion will be announced tomorrow.

Tomorrow at the Supreme Court: Guns (Heller), lawyers, and campaign money (Davis v. FEC).
