According
to
The
New
York
Times,
the
Supreme
Court’s
first
opinion
in
an
argued
case
this
term
(Bowe
v.
United
States)
arrived
in
January
2026.
Over
the
last
80
years,
how
many
times
before
has
SCOTUS
waited
until
January
to
issue
its
first
argued
opinion?
Hint:
This
delay
is
being
attributed
to
a
spike
in
emergency
docket
activity.
