Supreme Court Faces Controversies and Potential Delays Amidst Internal Rifts

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's mysterious absence from the bench for two consecutive days has raised questions about potential delays in crucial rulings, including a high-stakes decision on presidential immunity that could impact Donald Trump's legal battles. The Supreme Court has yet to issue a ruling on Trump's immunity case, causing frustration and speculation about intentional delays to influence the upcoming election. Meanwhile, the court's conservative justices display growing internal rifts, highlighted by Justice Amy Coney Barrett's critique of Justice Clarence Thomas' historical approach in a recent trademark case. Despite these controversies, the conservative majority has continued to strike down prior rulings, including those on abortion and racial discrimination in college admissions.
