The Supreme Court is set to begin its new term on Monday with a busy docket of cases that could have significant impacts on various issues, including transgender rights, gun regulation, and election-related matters. The court has added 15 more cases to its calendar for the years 2024-2025. As usual, decisions are expected by late June. In recent terms, the court has overturned Roe v. Wade, ended race-conscious decisions in college admissions, and opened the door for presidential immunity. With a general election just one month away featuring Vice President Kamala Harris against former President Donald Trump, the 6-3 conservative majority may be drawn into decisions on ballot counting and voting access.
