WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court’s last opinion day will be Monday, July 1, Chief Justice John Roberts said Friday, teeing up a dramatic finale to an unusually long Supreme Court term.
The scheduling announcement means the court, which still has several cases to resolve, on Monday will announce its highly anticipated decision on former President Donald Trump’s bid to avoid federal prosecution for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. The court is also set to announce a pair of decisions about social media misinformation.
The court on Friday threw out a decades-old legal doctrine that empowered federal regulators to interpret unclear laws, a move hailed as a victory by business groups. It also allowed upheld a ban on sleeping outdoors in a case about homelessness.
The court left some of its most closely watched decisions for its final week. This week alone, the court tossed out Purdue Pharma LP’s $6 billion opioid settlement, curbed the Securities and Exchange Commission’s ability to press complaints before in-house judges and confirmed it will temporarily let abortions take place in medical emergencies in Idaho.
