The current Supreme Court term is notable for its absence of significant religious liberty disputes, a departure from previous years where such cases were prevalent. Court observers have commented on this unusual trend, highlighting the Court's previous willingness to engage with weighty religious liberty challenges. The lack of these disputes this term raises questions about the Court's agenda and the issues it may prioritize moving forward. Legal experts are paying close attention to this development, particularly in light of ongoing First Amendment and Appointments Clause considerations that were addressed in September petitions to the Court.
