WASHINGTON − The Supreme Court is heading into the homestretch for its biggest cases of the year, with potentially landmark opinions still to come on immigration, pornography, religion and health care.
Decisions coming as soon as June 26 will resolve whether President Donald Trump can enforce his changes to birthright citizenship while his new policy is being litigated. The ruling could make it harder for judges to block any of the president’s policies.
The justices will also issue decisions on how states can keep minors from accessing online pornography, and on defunding Planned Parenthood. Other rulings will determine if health insurers have to cover certain medicines and services, like HIV-preventive medication and cholesterol-lowering drugs, and whether a federal program that subsidizes phone and internet services through carrier fees is constitutional.
The Supreme Court still has to decide the last of three cases brought this year by religious groups. The justices will say if parents should be allowed to remove their elementary school children from class when storybooks with LGBTQ+ characters are being read.
