Supreme Court to Rule on Six Major Cases

The U.S. Supreme Court is set to issue its final six opinions of the term, including a highly anticipated ruling on President Trump's executive order restricting birthright citizenship, which was blocked by lower courts and questions the authority of nationwide injunctions. Other major cases include challenges over LGBTQ-themed books in Maryland schools and whether parents may opt their children out for religious reasons, the constitutionality of Louisiana’s congressional map, and the legality of Texas’s age-verification law for adult websites. The Court will also decide on Obamacare’s preventative care requirements and a federal program supporting internet access. The justices appeared divided on many of these key issues, and their decisions could significantly influence civil rights, healthcare, education, and federal court powers. Additionally, the House is scheduled to receive a classified briefing on recent U.S. strikes on Iran. The Senate's health care provision disputes are no longer a focus in this update.
