The Supreme Court is wrapping up its term this month, and several immensely consequential decisions will soon be released—some as early as Tuesday.
The atmosphere in Washington DC is tense as security for Justices has been ramped up after a draft opinion of an abortion case—which apparently will overturn Roe v Wade—Leaked information was released last month. An assassin attempted an unsuccessful attempt to kill the president. on Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s life.
Normaly, justices gather in dramatic ceremonies to present the new opinions. These times, it’s not so. CNN
Instead, the courtroom’s majestic chamber is dark —ostensibly due to lingering Covid concerns. Security fences have completely surrounded the plaza, an act prompted last month by demonstrations after a draft of Roe v. Wade’s ruling was published to the media. A federal grand jury has indicted a California man for attempting to assassinate Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
The term is still open for 18 cases, with more than one putting Americans on edge. These decisions could have a major impact on the future of the United States. The most significant:
Abortion. This is the most controversial decision, because as mentioned, a leaked draft report seems to indicate that SCOTUS is set to jettison decades of “settled” law by overturning Roe v Wade.
Is it possible that the SCOTUS leak was meant to stop Roe being overturned?

Roe is one of most legally flawed and “activist” decisions to ever come out of the Court, and any rational mind knows that the court simply made up a constitutional right that does not exist. If Roe is reaffirmed, you can expect to see protests and a flurry of TV anchors wailing in dismay. Evidently, Justice Alito wrote the leaked opinion. It points clearly in the direction for an overturn.
In the draft opinion, Alito said that Roe “must be overruled.” If the five-member majority holds, it will wipe away near 50-year-old precedent and change the landscape of women’s reproductive health going forward.
CNN fails to note that it will also “change the landscape” of unborn babies going forward.

The Second Amendment will be another important decision. At issue is “concealed carry.” Gun rights advocates want clarification on the issue, while gun control proponents are hoping the Supremes will allow states to enact laws forbidding concealed carry.
Religion liberty is another topic. Parents may want their kids to attend religious schools by using school vouchers. “God forbid,” say the leftists who have led the assault on religion for decades. A case is being brought up about the incident in which a coach tried to have sex with players during a football match. For his infraction, he was immediately fired.
On immigration, the Justices must contend with the “remain in Mexico” policy.
In one key case, the justices are grappling with whether the Biden administration can terminate a Trump-era border policy known as “Remain in Mexico.” Lower courts have so far blocked Biden from ending the policy.
In deciding whether the federal government has gone too far, the Supremes also will get into climate change. Hint: the EPA has been out of control for years and it’s high time someone reined them in.
The justices unexpectedly also agreed to decide a case concerning the EPA’s authority to regulate carbon emissions from existing power plants, in a dispute that could cripple the Biden administration’s attempts to slash emissions.
I wouldn’t be surprised at all if SCOTUS told the EPA to cool their jets and stop over-extending their authority.
There’s a lot to be decided this month, and it’s going to be epic. There is one thing certain: neither side will be happy.
I predict that conservatives won’t be disappointed and that Chuck Schumer spends most of June in an angry rage.
Which won’t bother me a bit.
