The five biggest cases awaiting Supreme Court decisions
thehill.com ^ | July 4, 2020 | Harper Neidig and John Kruzel

The Supreme Court has a few more big decisions to hand down. The court has already decided some of the biggest cases on its docket — including abortion, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program and LGBT rights — but several thorny legal questions need to be resolved before the term is over.

When the next batch of rulings is issued on Monday, it will be the first time in 24 years that the Supreme Court has released decisions in July, a delay that can be attributed to the coronavirus that upended normal operations for the justices this year.

Trump's financial records

ObamaCare contraception mandate

Faithless electors

Religious exemptions from discrimination suits

Native sovereignty in Oklahoma

If/when Roberts resigns, who might President Trump name as replacement chief justice? I’d put money on elevating Kavanaugh.

The last time we had July opinions was during the government shutdown in 1996.

The American Indian case is Murphy. It could be a game changer - for good or evil. It’s a sovereignty issue in a felony criminal case (murder). The Court would like to “split the baby,” but 150+ years of precedent is being jammed down everyone’s throats. Roberts will have to do some of that magic “tax, but not a tax” stuff here. Mischief is afoot.

A big week for decisions & then off for the summer “break” after this week.

If any Justice is ACTUALLY going to retire, we’ll hear of it soon.

We need to find out what they hVe in Roberts and use it against him, leaving him in a lose lose situation where he must resign.

Why do supreme court decisions come only around June?

Why not have them throughout the year?

Sadly few will only retire upon death. A quick look at statistics suggest about 50:50. So, we are stuck with most everyone for quite a few more years.

Just being hopeful, he’s not much of a constitutionalist, nor conservative. Tire of justices that seem to want to write law instead of interpret.

“Maybe we can ask Johnnie and Buzzy to call in sick this week???”

Has she actually been coming to court or phoning it in?
