3 Questions... | about the Supreme Court’s cases | Anthony asked Kate Murphy, who covers national news for Yahoo News, about key cases that the Supreme Court is expected to rule on over the next month. |
|
| | How many rulings are we expecting over the next month? |
|
| As a news team, we’re anticipating 30 rulings, but my guide on the bigger Supreme Court decisions narrows it down to eight that you’ll want to pay attention to. |
| |
| | What’s at stake with the rulings that we’re anticipating? |
|
| A lot. The SCOTUS rulings I’m waiting for revolve around four big themes: abortion access, Trump’s criminal cases, gun access and First Amendment rights. |
| |
| | Digging in on the Trump theme: What is the Supreme Court deciding? |
|
| I wrote about two things: whether Trump has presidential immunity from criminal prosecution, and if he’ll be charged with certain crimes in the Jan. 6 case. |
