Notes

  1. ↑ All but one of Kennedy's opinions were issued after Justice Scalia's death. Of the justices who participated the entire term, Thomas joined the fewest number of Kennedy's opinions, with three.
  2. ↑ This opinion was handed down after the death of Justice Scalia, and so was unanimous as to the eight justices remaining on the Court.
