After a year of enormous change and challenge, the U.S. Supreme Court
enters its final weeks of the term with several hot-button cases yet to
be decided, and speculation over one of its longest-serving justices.
June is typically the busiest time for the nine-member bench, as they
work to release rulings from their docket, including issues dealing with
religious liberty and LGBTQ rights, healthcare, college sports, and
state voting laws.
The high court has been faced with operating remotely because of the
pandemic and having new Justice Amy Coney Barrett come aboard just days
before the presidential election, following the death of Justice Ruth
Bader Ginsburg.
And despite calls from supporters of then-President Trump to get
involved, the justices deftly avoided having a repeat of the 2000 Bush
v. Gore dispute.
"They kind of kept their head down with regard to the election, and
didn't involve themselves with anything in respect to the aftermath of
the election, and were hoping to not be too visible," said Paul Smith,
from the Georgetown University Law Center.
"Now they're starting to gather momentum and the very conservative
majority on the court is I think headed in the direction of an
absolutely blockbuster term next year."
But first things first, as the court must dispose of its 26 outstanding
merits cases. The late Ginsburg called June the "flood season" for the
court's frantic finish, when the most contentious issues are typically
resolved. Draft opinions are circulated and finalized among chambers,
with internal tensions among the justices at its highest, reflected in
the often harshly worded dissents by those on the losing side.
Much of the focus will be on Barrett, Trump's third high court
appointment, which solidified a 6-3 conservative majority. She has yet
to reveal her hand in the most closely watched cases, and her
jurisprudence will likely be a work in progress.
