The Hill<\/a> posted a list today of five important Supreme Court cases<\/a> that we should receive rulings on beginning next week and ending in June.<\/p>\n

The article lists the five cases:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Partisan gerrymandering\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The justices were asked this term to rule on whether Republican<\/a> officials in Wisconsin unconstitutionally injected political bias into the redistricting process by drawing district lines to disadvantage Democrats.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    2.<\/strong> Wedding cake<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The court also has yet to rule in Masterpiece Cakeshop v. the Colorado<\/a> Civil Rights Commission<\/a>. The case centers on Jack Phillips, a Colorado baker who refused to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    3. Sports betting\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Former New Jersey<\/a> Gov. Chris Christie<\/a> (R) could get a major win if the court sides with a challenge his state brought challenging a 1992 federal law that bans sports gambling<\/a> in almost every state except Nevada.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    4. Free speech and abortion<\/strong><\/p>\n

    It\u2019s a two-for-one in National Institute of Family and Life Advocates (NIFLA) v. Becerra, a lawsuit that pro-life pregnancy centers in California brought challenging a state law that requires licensed facilities to post information about where women can obtain a free or low-cost abortion from the state.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The law also requires unlicensed facilities to notify women that they do not employ a licensed medical professional.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    5. Trump’s travel ban\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The last arguments the justices heard this term were a challenge to President Trump\u2019s ban on nationals from certain Muslim-majority countries<\/a> entering the United States<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    It will be interesting to see if the rulings on these cases are actually based on the U.S. Constitution<\/a> or if they are simply based on what is politically correct.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
