The US Supreme Court has set Monday as a new opinion day, extending the current term to resolve pivotal cases, including the high-profile bid from former President Donald Trump seeking criminal immunity. This decision comes amidst a busy schedule for the justices, who were already set to issue rulings on Friday. Besides Trump’s case, the court will address key issues related to regulatory power and social media.
There are still six unresolved cases on the docket, highlighting the packed agenda for the court in the coming days. On a notable Thursday, the court delivered significant rulings, discarding Purdue Pharma LP’s $6 billion opioid settlement, restricting the Securities and Exchange Commission’s authority to use in-house judges, affirming abortion rights in medical emergencies in Idaho, and blocking a Biden administration rule aimed at stricter emissions requirements.
Traditionally, Chief Justice John Roberts announces the last day of the term from the bench and may do so on Monday. For a detailed exploration of these developments, please visit the original article.
