June 18 (Bloomberg) -- For court watchers, the drama isbecoming unbearable. With just two Mondays left on the U.S.Supreme Court’s calendar to announce opinions -- June 18 and 25-- the five most important cases of the term all remainundecided.
The club of Supreme Court devotees (OK, junkies) likes tothink of the first Monday in October as opening day, and thelast Monday in June as game seven of the World Series. But manyyears, the series is a dud. Most of the cases are technical andunexciting, they enter the casebooks with little fanfare, andthe public barely notices. This year will be the exception thatproves the rule.
