The U.S. Supreme Court is busily dishing out its final opinions before heading into America’s 250th birthday. But it’s also announcing which cases it’ll be hearing in its upcoming fall term.

As part of its Monday order list, the high court revealed that it will be taking up and holding arguments in a series of legal disputes involving major policy questions.

Among those granted “cert” is Republican National Committee v. Mi Familia Vota, which deals with a challenge to provisions of Arizona law requiring residents to prove they’re American citizens when registering to vote.

As The Federalist previously reported, the contested provisions mandate that residents show documentary proof of citizenship (DPOC) when registering via state voter registration forms. They also required such proof for individuals submitting mail-in ballots and voting in presidential contests. (In Arizona, individuals who do not provide DPOC when registering to vote are permitted to do so as “federal-only voters” and only cast ballots in federal elections.)

A panel for the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals blocked parts of the law from taking effect in February 2025. The court argued that the contested provisions violated the Civil Rights Act and the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA), which requires state officials to make “a reasonable effort to remove the names of ineligible voters from the official lists of eligible voters.”

The Supreme Court also revealed that it will hear oral arguments in International Partners for Ethical Care, Inc. v. Ferguson. As described by The Federalist Society, the case centers around a Washington state law “that delays notification and reunification of a runaway child with his or her parents if that child claims to be receiving or requests” so-called “care” encouraging transgenderism.

Next year this time, we will be waiting on the Opinion in an entirely new election case and another transgender case.

There are two transgender cases which we should get the opinions on tomorrow. I think Kavanaugh is probably writing those opinions.
