Welcome
to
our
daily
feature, Quote
of
the
Day.
[P]ublic
engagement
with
the
Supreme
Court
matters,
and
public
engagement
is
dulled
when
decisions
come
late
in
the
day
and
late
in
the
week.
Whether
intentionally
or
not,
the
court
regularly
releases
significant
orders
at
exactly
the
time
when
they’re
most
likely
to
get
lost
in
the
news
cycle.
— Kelsey
Dallas,
the
managing
editor
for
SCOTUSblog,
in
comments
given
in
a
recent
article
examining
the
Supreme
Court’s
tendency
to
release
significant
decisions
in
a
“Friday
news
dump.”
According
to
SCOTUSblog’s
research,
over
the
past
six
months,
more
often
than
not,
the
high
court
announced
its
important
decisions
on
a
Thursday
or
Friday
afternoon,
with
many
of
them
released
after
4
p.m.
ET.
