Earlier this week, the U.S. Supreme Court announced its opinion in five cases. The next announcement day is Thursday, June 25, although with a dozen opinions left to issue for this October Term, additional opinion days seem likely. As noted on the New York Times opinion tracker, the remaining cases are mostly on blockbuster topics, including the president's ability to fire members of the Federal Reserve Board and other government regulators, prohibitions on transgender athletes in girls' and women's sports teams, restrictions on mail-in ballot deadlines, Hawaii's firearm concealed carry restrictions, and the fate of Temporary Protected Status for Haitian and Syrian immigrants.
