For a reason I cannot fathom, SCOTUS hasn’t been anywhere near the center of the fall campaign. Whatever happens in November we’re def going to need @LeahLitman ‘s book come June! https://t.co/p9lj3d7XUk
“A Supreme Court reshaped by Trump has a low profile in this presidential campaign”: Mark Sherman and Lindsay Whitehurst of The Associated Press have this report. https://t.co/fnr1N3s1g0
The nation’s highest court has a lower profile than it did in the past two presidential campaigns. That’s despite an early summer ruling on presidential immunity that insured that Trump would not have to stand trial before the Nov. 5 election. https://t.co/U93hK6FiCo
The Supreme Court has begun its 2024-2025 term, coinciding with the presidential election campaign. Despite a lower profile in the campaign, the Court's docket includes significant cases that could impact national political debates. Key cases involve the Clean Air Act and federal sentencing guidelines, which are expected to have substantial implications for environmental and administrative law. Additionally, the Court's decisions may further inflame America's cultural divisions, as fundamental rights are pitted against each other in ways that demand all-or-nothing resolutions. The Supreme Court, reshaped by Trump, also issued a presidential immunity ruling ensuring Trump would not stand trial before the election.
