The U.S. Supreme Court has entered its busiest period of the year, with more than 30 decisions expected to be released by early July. On June 5, the Court began issuing opinions for the current term, releasing five merits opinions without a recorded dissent and a dismissal of a case with a dissent from Justice Kavanaugh. There are 33 opinions outstanding, and 5 to 6 opinions were expected on June 5. Key pending cases include Trump v. CASA on nationwide injunctions and birthright citizenship, U.S. v. Skrmetti on Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for minors, Catholic Charities Bureau v. Wisconsin on religious exemptions in employment law, Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton on Texas's age verification law for online content, Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic on Medicaid funding, and Mahmoud v. Taylor on religious objections to school curriculum. Other cases involve issues such as gunmaker liability, reverse discrimination, and federal agency authority. The Court is also managing an unusually high number of emergency requests from the Trump administration to intervene in ongoing legal challenges to federal policies. The justices' decisions in these cases are expected to have broad implications for federal authority, civil rights, and social policy. In parallel with the Court's decision-making, The Economist has introduced 'SCOTUSbot,' an artificial intelligence tool that analyzes briefs and oral arguments to predict how each justice may vote in ten of the Court's biggest pending cases.
