The Next Supreme Court Term: Guns, Free Speech and More - A The New York Times

The vessels that likely will end the Chevron principle of Courts deferring to expert agencies

in  Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo.

 

“This term’s administrative law cases present an existential question,” said Kate Shaw, a professor at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law. “Will our government retain the power and capacity to respond to the most pressing issues of our time? Or will the court continue to incapacitate the administrative state, limiting its authority and substituting the court’s own views and preferences for those of expert agencies?”

The Next Supreme Court Term: Guns, Free Speech and More - The New York Times By Adam Liptak and Abbie VanSickle

When the Supreme Court returns to the bench on Monday, it will face a docket filled with unfinished business. The justices will revisit issues like gun rights, government power, race and free speech even as they are shadowed by intense scrutiny of their conduct off the bench.

In the coming months, moreover, the court will very likely agree to hear a major abortion case, one that could severely limit the availability of a drug used in more than half of all pregnancy terminations. A decision in that case could come in June, two years after the court overturned Roe v. Wade.

Recent history suggests that the court’s six Republican appointees will continue to move the law to the right. The main questions are how far, how fast and what impact the questions swirling around the justices’ ethical standards will have on their judicial work and personal relationships.
