JUST IN: Monday will be an opinion day. We don’t know which case(s) will be decided, but the Texas abortion cases are a real possibility.
#SCOTUS website indicates that the Court will release one or more opinions in argued cases on Monday -- but opinions will be released electronically, rather than announced from the bench, even though the justices are now hearing oral arguments in person.
