Supreme Court Concludes Term with Impactful Cases
The Supreme Court will conclude its term this week with two high-profile cases that could significantly shape American law and politics.
Abortion Access in Emergency Rooms
On Wednesday, the court will hear arguments in Moyle v. United States, which involves a dispute over whether a federal law requiring emergency care supersedes Idaho’s law prohibiting abortions in most cases. The case stems from the court’s previous decision overturning the constitutional right to abortion, highlighting the complex legal landscape in the wake of that ruling.
Trump’s Immunity from Criminal Charges
On Thursday, the court will hear arguments in a case involving former President Donald Trump’s immunity from federal charges related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. The decision in this case could determine whether Trump faces trial before the upcoming presidential election, adding to the political significance of the ruling.
Remaining Cases
After this week’s arguments, the court will have approximately four dozen cases left to decide before the end of its term in June. These cases cover a range of topics, including the fallout from previous decisions like Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization and issues affecting the federal government’s operations.
The upcoming Supreme Court decisions have the potential to reshape abortion access, gun rights, the balance between federal agencies and the courts, and more. With the conclusion of this term, the court’s impact on American law and politics will continue to be felt for years to come.
