A comment from a writer at scotusblog:
“With today’s announcements, it would seem that Justices Thomas, Kavanaugh, Barrett and Jackson are close to/completely finished with their assigned opinions, having written 6, 7, 6 and 6 respectively.”
With some of the most important cases yet to be decided, if that is true that makes it more likely that the remaining decisions will be written by Roberts, Alito, Kagan, Sotomayor, or Gorsuch.
303 Creative (1st Amendment case) remains to be decided as well as the affirmative action issues in regards to college admissions, and the student loans forgiveness case.
If your choice is sitting at home or voting for the GOP candidate who may not be your first choice (or even second or third), think about the Supreme Court and how your decision can effect who will be seated on the nation’s highest Court.
I see the possibility of Roberts siding with the liberals on the 303 Creative case. If Alito writers this it will be for the First Amendment.
I am hoping Alito writes the Majority opinion for the NC redistricting case. If it rules for the legislature it will have ramifications throughout the nation. If Roberts writes it he will split the baby and say the NC law allows the State Supreme Court to make some changes but it is the Legislature not the Court that makes election laws and redistricting decisions. Supermajority in NC will rewrite the law jam it down Cooper's throat. But for the rest of the country it will be status quo with continuing battles over redistricting.
Gorsuch is too much like Roberts just not as bad. Roberts has actually damaged this country with his bizzaro rulings on Obama Care and gay Marriage. He continually says courts should not write laws and then he does it. Gorsuch is not there yet. I could see Gorsuch writing the NC case as well and that worries me. From a national perspective it is the 303 Creative and the NC cases to watch. Like I said Universities will always favor minority applicants it is hard wired in their admission people. My daughter was told by a NC university that she made the wait list for admissions but they expected better grades from someone who is half Asian. Nothing the SCOTUS does can change that kind of thought process
