The Supreme Court is slated to release decisions for the 10 cases remaining on its 2022-2023 term docket this week, which will include major rulings on affirmative action and election law.
Justices have already issued rulings on major Indian law cases, struck down Alabama’s congressional district map under the Voting Rights Act and limited the Environmental Protection Agency’s authority to regulate under the Clean Water Act. But the most highly anticipated cases of the term—including ones about religious rights, affirmative action and President Joe Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan—are still to come.
Religious Accommodations
A former postal worker’s right to a religious accommodation is under consideration by the Supreme Court in Groff v. DeJoy.
Gerald Groff sued the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) in 2019 after it failed to exempt him from working on Sundays, which he argues is required under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972. A ruling in favor of Groff could expand religious rights in the workplace and unravel the Supreme Court’s 1977 decision in Trans World Airlines v. Hardison — which found that protections for religious employees could be limited when the accommodation imposes more than a trivial burden on the employer and many deemed was bad precedent.
Biden’s Student Loan Forgiveness Plan
Department of Education v. Brown and Biden v. Nebraska, lawsuits brought by individual loan holders and six states, respectively, challenge Biden’s plan to grant student loan forgiveness for nearly 40 million Americans.

The Court will release some opinions tomorrow at 10:00. They will then probably have another opinion day Thursday, and if there are any cases remaining, again on Friday.

Howdy, everyone! This is the last week of our second quarter FReepathon and we’re running a bit behind. It would be great if we get to at least 94%! That means we need to raise another $4 or $5k in the next 4 days. Please get your donations in today and let’s get ‘er done! Way to go FReepers! Thank you all very much! God bless.
The student loan debt giveaway will trigger either lots of deadbeats or fiscally responsible members of society. Expect this decision to be the last of the session, with the opinion published after the justices have escaped D.C. for the summer.
RE: Moore..
The Biden administration has argued that the justices should dismiss the case as moot after the North Carolina Supreme Court reversed its ruling on April 28.
The Dems are scared sh*tless of this one. If SCOTUS sides with the NC legislature, which it should since it’s clearly written in the US Constitution, no more outside interference or last minute rule changes from a state SOS or Paul Elias showing up to sue.
This is YUUUUUGE for a state like Wisconsin. If the legislature has the ‘nads to do something. Same for Georgia. It renders Raffensberger, Kemp and Fuchs as on-lookers to anything the legislature wants done.
Do you mean Marc Elias?
Yes....My bad. Thanks for the correction.
How many of these will the traitor Roberts Court get “right”?
The smart people with loans paid their loans with the three year tax free until the final 10 grand and put that into a CD until resolution and then pay it off if necessary with a few bucks of interest they get to keep.
The suspense is killing me. Can’t someone please leak the opinions?!
I coulda sworn there was a 2nd Amendment case that was argued this term.
I’m betting the BIG Dems are hoping Biden’s plan to cancel student loans is shot down by the USSC...so they have a rallying cry...just like they used Roe v Wade.
If you have to work on Sundays...don’t take the job...that is not a religious right...that’s a personal accomodation.
