Supreme Court's New Term: Moving to the Right
This term of the Supreme Court may show how far and how fast it wants to continue moving to the right. A series of follow-up cases in administrative law, agency power, Second Amendment rights, and abortion will be instrumental in revealing the court's direction. Conservative litigants and courts are pushing hard in anticipation of a positive reception from the court, building on major victories from previous terms. Additionally, the court will address the administrative state's power and the Chevron deference, with a significant case that challenges a 40-year-old precedent. The outcome of this term will have far-reaching implications for government regulation and the balance of power between the branches.
