Thus, for readers who likewise enjoy hearing about the plans of another, especially when set forth in the form of a chart, here goes: 1. 10 a.m. eastern time Thursday: Blog about the Supreme Court’s newly announced rulings and link to those opinions. On rare occasion, this blog links to a newly released opinion before a link to that very same opinion appears on the live blog maintained by “SCOTUSblog.” 2. Sometime between 11 and 11:30 a.m., travel with a friend to Citizens Bank Park in South Philadelphia to watch the Philadelphia Phillies host the Pittsburgh Pirates in a game scheduled to begin at 1:05 p.m. 3. Assuming no extra innings or weather-related delays, begin to travel back to the office or home sometime between 4 and 5 p.m. 4. Resume blogging about Thursday’s Supreme Court rulings and attempt to figure out what’s particularly worthwhile to link to. 5. Eventually, life returns to normal.
