The Supreme Court issues opinions this morning at beginning 10:00 from cases from the October 2023 term.
After yesterday's opinions there are now twenty-seven cases remaining to be decided.
Of note is the Trump vs. U.S. immunity case, the Chevron deference cases(Relentless and Loper Bright), and the Fischer case regarding charges related to the January 6, 2021 protests.
There is also the Cargill case where at issue is whether a bump stock device is a “machinegun” as defined in 26 U.S.C. § 5845(b). Another 2nd Amendment case is U.S. v. Rahimi where the question is whether 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(8), which prohibits the possession of firearms by persons subject to domestic-violence restraining orders, violates the Second Amendment on its face.
Another important case is Moore v. US, a case regarding taxation of unrealized gains.
There is also a couple of First Amendment cases, one Murthy v Missouri regarding government censorship and social media. The issues are whether respondents have Article III standing; (2) whether the government’s challenged conduct transformed private social media companies’ content-moderation decisions into state action and violated respondents’ First Amendment rights; and (3) whether the terms and breadth of the preliminary injunction are proper.
There is also an abortion case, Moyle v. U.S., and a EPA case in Ohio v. Environmental Protection Agency, so there are a lot of cases of importance to conservatives still awaiting decisions from the Court.

*human being. Bad typo.
And for anyone who doesn’t get the Warren Burger reference, I’m saying Roberts is a pompous jerk like Burger was, but with brains enough not to let it impact his ability to manipulate the justices to get outcomes he desired. He sucks bigly.
“Wishy washy” describes Barrett, but not Gorsuch. Gorsuch just has views that don’t align with the decisions that many would like as often as they’d like.
Highly unlikely (as in almost ZERO chance) they will grant blanket presidential immunity.
They will probably kick the question back to the lower court to discern which are "official" acts, covered by presidential immunity, and which are not.
That decision will then be appealed to SCOTUS. This process will take months.
The majority opinion is clearly correct. Thomas into a lot of technical detail. It says a lot that the three liberal justices couldn’t get themselves to see it correctly because of their bias. As Alito points out, Congress can step in here if it wants to, so Sotomayor’s extreme reaction is really not called for and screams political given the upcoming election.
Yep, LOTS of months.
No, not all, but Roberts changed his mind at the last minute and switched his vote on Obamacare, so hastily that his written opinion made no sense.
At the USSC, its not over until it's over.
And if Trump's case is currently 5-4 (Likely), the 4 won't quit trying for a fifth until the last possible moment.
You’re saying that the ruling will be 5-4 (or worse) against DJT? How do they kick it back to the lower court if not ruling against him?
Got me there lol. Have no earthly idea. It’s one for the legal beagles here to enlighten us.
The Rule of 65 says don’t sweat the posting error small stuff.
You’re 65! At last.
The Trump bookkeeping error case was proof that a president needs extensive immunity. So does all the subpoena’s issued against presidential advisors past and present by this House and the previous one.
I said no such thing. Geez.
After the embarrassing Manhattan clown show, that ship has sailed. If a majority was inclined towards limited immunity, that all changed. It’ll be a much broader affirmation of immunity.
wasn’t trying to be personal; I’m just asking you how it gets kicked back to a lower court
Here's a fair summary of how this likely rolls out:
U.S. Supreme Court floats return to trial court for Trump in presidential immunity case
Sending the question back to the trial court would be a huge win for Trump.
Even Bragg’s case will be well within the blast radius. Note that the case alleged that major felonies were committed by Trump after he was sworn in.
Almost no chance. See likely scenario — which is an excellent outcome for Trump:
U.S. Supreme Court floats return to trial court for Trump in presidential immunity case
BINGO! And the US has extradition treaties with a large number of countries. Without broad presidential immunity, imagine the potential havoc by troublemakers.
“The Rule of 65 says don’t sweat the posting error small stuff.
You’re 65! At last.”

LOL!
SCOTUS will likely have a second go at the question once trial court decision is appealed. Meanwhile, Trump will be in the Oval.
Summary of important decisions?
BTW, the Constitution gave the Supreme Court power to resolve individual cases and controversies, not to make law which is constitutionally reserved for the legislature - Congress.
How far we have drifted from the protection of our God-given freedoms via constitutionally-mandated separation of powers among other things.
