Supreme Court: Another Important Term

If the Supreme Court were a TV show, last term would have been the series finale. That “season” included momentous decisions on religious liberty, the administrative state, and gun rights. But putting it over the top was Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. Overturning Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, the monumental Dobbs opinion struck like an earthquake and promptly reordered the political landscape. This case even brought with it a plot twist, with Justice Alito’s opinion leaked by a still-unknown source internal to the Court.

So what comes next after the biggest term in generations? This term will not rise to the level of last year. Yet the Supreme Court has lined up a series of cases that still could prove important to constitutional law and to American politics.
