The Supreme Court is in a new session and the cases they are going to overlook are controversial to some and common sense to others. Here are the Supreme Court cases that will be heard shortly:

1.) LGBTQ rights

The civil rights act of 1964 prohibits many forms of discrimination but does this cover anyone's sexuality? This is the question that the Supreme Court is looking to answer. This case will look into the specific language of the Civil Rights Act and the precedent set in other cases to see if the 1964 bill applies to those who have a different sexuality.

This case will have an impact on the Trump administration's decision to Barr transgender individuals from serving in the US Military.

2.) Youth Illegal Immigration Case

This case involves the DACA program, a program that allowed the children of illegal immigrants to become US citizens, a program the Trump administration is looking to end. The debate about the President’s action revolves around if the President ended the program properly, not whether or not he has the authority to do so.

3.) Abortion Case

A case about new abortion law in Louisiana might impact future attempts to bring down Roe v. Wade. The new law in Louisiana requires that the abortionist has to admit privileges to local hospitals, a law in Texas that was similar to this was struck down in the past. This case may impact any future abortion legislation the President and his allies get through.

4.) Religious School Case

Funding for religious schools was cut in Montana due to a Montana Supreme Court case. The argument was that due to the Separation of Church and State the religious schools can not get government funding. The Supreme Court will make the final call on this case, the outcome will most likely have no effect on the Trump administration.

5.) Bridge Case

“BridgeGate” was a controversy that arises after an aide to Chirs Christie shut down traffic lanes on George Washington Bridge to cause trouble for another politician. This aide was found guilty of fraud and will be having her case heard by the Supreme Court. She is arguing that her actions were political and should be viewed as such. This case will likely have no effect on the President’s agenda.

6.) Case On Juvenile Sentencing

A case revolving around the sentencing of juveniles to life in prison is entering the Supreme court. Lee Boyd Malvo, the younger of the two DC Snipers who terrorized the nation, is the one at the core of this case. This case will likely have no outcome that affects the President or his agenda.

Kansas has abolished the Insanity Plea and a man who has been sentenced to death is bringing the case to the Supreme Court. The lawyers involved argue that the plea is constitutional. This case will have little effect on Trump and his policy goals.

8.) 2nd Amendment Case

The New York Gun Control case is heading to the Supreme Court this session. The outcome of this case will affect gun control legislation and those fighting back against it nationwide. The case will determine if local governments can suppress the right to transport firearms, this will change the way liberals fight for gun control if it goes through. This case will change why President Trump and his allies fight gun control policies.

The issue of Non-Unanimous Juries is going to the Supreme Court. Very few states have made it so you can get criminal convection with a majority of jurors as opposed to the typical unanimous juries that are required. The court will determine if unanimous juries are required to get a criminal conviction. The outcome of this case will have virtually no impact on the Trump administration.
