Major SCOTUS Rulings To Come As Soon As Today

Axios reports:

The Supreme Court is about to drop a string of blockbuster rulings, with abortion rights, gun rights and the Justice Department’s case against former President Trump all hanging in the balance.

There’s no bigger blockbuster in that mix than former President Trump’s claims of “absolute immunity” from criminal prosecution.

Other pending cases involve charges against Capitol rioters, the right of states to control social media moderation, and the power of federal regulatory agencies.
