There's a guy on yahoo who says the justices split up writing opinions each year so there is nearly an equal amount of opinions issued. He is saying that Alito has the fewest opinions this year and is due to write ONE of the opinions on Monday.
He claims to have tracked this for several years now and can ALWAYS identify one of the Majority opinion writer's on the LAST DAY of the Supreme Court session - stay tuned ...

Yeah, SCOTUSblog says it'll be Roberts and Alito delivering Burwell v. Hobby Lobby and Harris v. Quinn, but I can't remember who's on which. Er, who's on first?

If the CJ is in the majority, usually he will write the opinion, but can designate to another justice. Don’t know what happens when he’s in the minority. But I don’t think there’s any even-steven equitable division of opinion writing.

This almost certainly means that Justice Alito, who has not yet written a decision from January, will be writing in Harris.
Harris is the public union case. So I’m guessing Roberts is writing Hobby Lobby. IDK.
