Notes

  1. ↑ Gorsuch joined the Court midterm. Of the justices who participated the entire term, Alito joined the fewest number of Kennedy's opinions, with three.
  2. ↑ This opinion was handed down prior to the confirmation of Justice Gorsuch, and so was unanimous as to the eight justices then on the Court.
