Welcome, readers, to SCOTUSblog’s “live” coverage of the final day of the Supreme Court term.

The session is scheduled to start at 10 a.m. Eastern, and the Justices are expected to begin issuing decisions shortly thereafter.

Three cases remain to be decided:

Davis v. FEC (07-320), on the so-called “Millionaire’s Amendment” to campaign finance laws; District of Columbia v. Heller (07-290), on the scope of the right to own firearms under the Second Amendment; and Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc. v. Public Utility District No. 1 of Snohomish County (06-1457), on electricity contracts reached during the Western energy crisis.

We will relay all news as we receive it from our reporter at the Court, Lyle Denniston.

The Court has released the opinion in Davis v. Federal Election Commission (07-320), on whether the so-called “Millionaire’s Amendment” to campaign finance laws, which relaxes campaign finance limits for opponents of congressional candidates spending more than $350,000 of their own money, violates either the First or Fifth Amendments. The ruling below, which upheld the law, is reversed and remanded.
