The Supreme Court is about to drown us in a deluge of explosive and massively consequential decisions involving some of the most controversial issues of the day. Right now, the justices are scrambling to complete blockbusters involving abortion, guns, homelessness, unions, social media, online disinformation, pollution, the administrative state—and, oh yes, hundreds of Jan. 6 prosecutions, including Donald Trump’s. Yet at the moment, there’s a logjam: The court, which likes to wrap up decisions by the end of June, is way behind schedule, releasing just a trickle of minor cases several weeks in a row. Even if it stretches into early July this year, SCOTUS has teed up a chaotic finale to the term. As soon as the current logjam breaks, the court will dump everything on us all at once.

So here’s the question...
If the term expires at the end of June, do any cases that have been heard but issued an opinion on become moot and essentially disappear?
After reversing Chevron, next is reversal of Willard v. Filburn.
Well, it is Slate. Good fodder for the Babylon Bee, so yeah, it's hilarious.
how do you see us faring overall?
Someone get Mark the smelling salts. He has the vapors, poor dear.
Reread my post. I did not say the Chevon doctrines was established 10+ years ago.
I said the reversal of the Chevron Doctrine would be one of the most important decisions in the last 10+ years.
Big difference.
It also made for lazy legislators who figured they did not need to be exact in the wording of laws since some agency would fill in the blanks so the law could be properly implemented. Big problem that meant agencies were free to ignore or circumvent the law’s original intent. Knowing full well challenges would result in lengthy court case for those wanting judicial relief.
The Dobbs decision didn’t mean much of anything in practical terms. It just returned to the States laws governing abortion. So many states permit abortion at any stage, the Dobbs decionhas next to no effect in most states.
Don’t get me wrong; it was a very good decision.
The homosexual marriage was a bad decision, but it really didn’t change much.
If you don’t think reversal of the Chevron Deference isn’t incredibly huge, you don’t really understand it.
And Congress needs to do its job and stop passing the buck!
I could be wrong but this article sounds like a whiny liberal crying in his beer because he knows he’s about to get his ass kicked.......hard.
all with the common thread of destroying the underpinnings of our nation.
Huh?!!!
Obergefell, and before that, Windsor, was the springboard which supercharged homofascism to another whole level. It was THE major impetus to homosexualizing the entire military, effectively destroying it. It energized the destructive, demonic "transgender" cult to go after kids, destroying perhaps tens of thousands of lives.
People were JAILED, or threatened with jail, over these decision. Entire agencies were transformed overnight, for the worst. Entire states neutered their legal language to destroy gendered language that we had always relied upon, and in the process, destroyed parenthood.
Review your notes and modify.
“how do you see us faring overall?”
I think Trump will win on the immunity since even liberal judges will see the danger in the opposing party being able to stifle the President by threats of litigation on every decision. I also think they will rule for Fischer in the “obstruction of congressional inquiries and investigations” charges. That will benefit Trump and other Jan 6 defendants.
On the Chevron cases (Relentless and Lober), regarding the fishing industry regulations, I know at least three of the judges definitely want to reign in the Chevron deference. How much and how many justices will go with them remains to be seen. That decision is probably going to be written by Roberts so he can figure a way to “thread the needle” and not take too much power from the bureaucracy.
On the second amendment case and domestic violence, I think we’ve hung our hats on the wrong case with Rahami and the Court will rule against him. The tax case, Moore, may also be written by Roberts and he is usually all for taxes so may give the government a win on that one as well.
In the Ohio vs. EPA, I think they will rule for Ohio as a way to reign in the EPA.
In the First Amendment cases, I’m afraid they are going to give the federal government some leeway in limiting disinformation on social media. I hope I’m wrong, but too many Justices are just not strong enough on the First Amendment.
The bump stock ban I think will be overturned. Even the anti-gun justices seem to understand that a stock and it’s operation is not the same as a trigger.
And, I think they are going to rule the Plaintiffs do not have standing to challenge FDA on the mifepristone approval.
I could be wrong on every single prediction above. I often am. LOL!
a deluge of explosive and massively consequential is what I get if I have too many Bushs’ baked beans... but the fact SLATE is opining is probably a good thing! that’s the PURPOSE or one of them anyway. To clarify laws.
I doubt we have any Marbury vs Madison, or of the importance but it will be fun to watch the liberal handwringing. Get some ben-gay ointment for those sore hands an wrists!
lex
LOL, I hear that. Good summation regardless. I really hope the majority is leaning farther and farther right to the point where we get everything we want and start to truly right side this ship.
After reversing Chevron, next is reversal of Willard v. Filburn.
Wouldn’t that be nice.
The media and the left may have pissed off a few Justices with their attack on them over the past few week.
For instance, in the Rolling Stone article regarding the Justices “gifts” they included every speaking fee and expense costs paid for Justice Thomas, but failed to do the same for the liberal Justices. The media’s constant insistence that conservative justices recuse themselves may not sit will with the liberal justices. Because they know the spotlight could just as easily turn onto them. All the justices may be interested in reigning in the “deep state” a bit since it’s obvious some agencies are getting too big for their britches.
Wrong. The court is 6-3 conservative.
The lobbyists are the backdoor to our democracy and they keep it well greased.
