The Supreme Court once again is poised to rewrite policy on some of the country’s thorniest issues over the next two months as the justices complete their term with rulings expected on race, religious liberty, voting rights, social media and gay rights.
The court will also decide the fate of President Biden’s executive powers in two big cases, one covering his student loan forgiveness plan and the other his attempt to grant leniency to illegal immigrants.
“The court has left its major policymaking decisions for the end of the term,” said Adam Feldman, a Supreme Court scholar and creator of the EmpiricalSCOTUS blog. “One good indicator of these cases is that the justices tend to split along ideological lines. We haven’t seen any of those splits yet this term likely because the cases already decided were not any of the big ticket items.”
In a 2003 ruling, the Supreme Court had seemed to set a time limit on affirmative action, and the current court’s GOP-appointed justices suggested the experiment of boosting some racial and ethnic minorities should come to an end.Curt Levey, president of the Committee for Justice, said the affirmative action cases are as big “as you’re ever going to find.”
Alabama, though, says it drew the map without regard to race, and forcing it to inject race into its decisions would violate the Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause.Mr. Biden could run up against the Republican appointees in cases challenging his student loan forgiveness plan. Texas won in lower courts, with judges ruling the administration violated immigration law by refusing to try to deport illegal immigrants with criminal records.
