The Supreme Court seems a bit quieter than in recent years as the justices begin a new term. Major cases await, as they always do. There are challenges to regulatory agencies and efforts to regulate social media platforms.
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court seems a bit quieter than in recent years, as the justices begin a new term.But nothing yet seems on par with conservative-driven decisions overturning Roe v. Wade's right to an abortion and expanding gun rights in June 2022, then ending affirmative action in higher education and killing the Biden administration's student loan forgiveness plan last June.
Abortion isn't yet on the calendar, but it is likely to be added later in the fall when the court considers the administration's appeal of lower-court rulings that would impose restrictions on mifepristone, a medication used in the most common method of abortion in the United States. There are signs the court could adopt an ethics code, but it's not clear when. The justices were discussing the possibility as far back as 2019, and Justice Brett Kavanaugh recently said he hoped "concrete steps" would be taken soon. In Supreme Court time, soon could mean months or longer.
There seems to be no end to cases involving the former president. The court already has agreed to hear a case in which a man tried to trademark a phrase mocking Trump as "too small."
