First appeared in Florida Daily By Aron Solomon The Supreme Court is in their usual end-of-term madness, where they have to release many more decisions in important cases than there is realistically time. For the term that began in October and ends in 10 days, there were, as of last Thursday morning, 18 decisions left to release.
