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 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.
