What cases are remaining before the Supreme Court?

ny1.com

A third of the cases heard this year are still undecided, including former President Donald Trump's claims about immunity from prosecution.

Term technically ends a week from tomorrow, Friday, 6/28.

"Of the 61 cases the Supreme Court heard this year, 19 are still unresolved with a few weeks left in its term

The high court’s justices are still weighing whether former President Donald Trump is immune from criminal prosecution in the election interference case against him, more than a month after hearing arguments

Another case, related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, questions the validity of obstruction charges brought against hundreds of people who took part in the insurrection

There’s also still an abortion case on the docket this year: whether doctors can provide that medical procedure in emergencies in states that banned abortion after the court overturned Roe v. Wade"

I expect the big decisions to be announced on the last day so Thomas can jump in his RV and ride off into the sunset.
