Impact of the Supreme Court on Future Politics

The Supreme Court is poised to make significant rulings that will impact pressing issues such as gender-affirming care for minors and the death penalty in its new term. Notably, the court will hear a case concerning ghost guns, which are privately assembled firearms without serial numbers that complicate law enforcement tracking. The Biden administration views this as a critical issue, citing that over 72,000 ghost guns were recovered by law enforcement between 2016 and 2022, with many linked to serious crimes. As the court navigates these contentious cases, the potential influence of the upcoming presidential election looms, raising concerns about perceived partisanship based on past experiences from previous elections, such as the 2000 decision that favored George W. Bush.
