Yeah, consider this: the court tries to spread the task of writing opinions around. Senior-most justice on winning side assigns the task. Court will deliver written opinions in roughly 170 cases per year. So we'll get about 18 written opinions from her a year, for what, 10 years? Wonder how many of those will end up in law school texts?

Court will deliver written opinions in roughly 170 cases per year...
Not nearly that many--more like less than half of 170 according to the following:
The number of slip opinions published each Term has varied over the years from as few as 75 to as many as 150.
The number of cases handled by the Court -- with full opinions -- has been reduced substantially in recent decades, from some 140-150 to 70-90.
80 opinions this past term.

The one that overturn Roe V Wade will.
