Geee Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Washington Examiner The Supreme Court this month could release decisions on issues related to immigration, free speech and religious liberty, all of which have the potential to portend the direction of the high court for years to come on these issues. Justice Neil Gorsuch will not have a say in every opinion still to come from the Supreme Court, but the full nine-justice bench could prove critical in a number of cases. Here are some of the key decisions still to come from the Supreme Court: Immigration Litigation over President Trump's travel ban is worming its way through federal appellate courts, but several other looming decisions from the Supreme Court are also poised to affect the new administration's policies. Jennings v. Rodriguez: Shortly after Trump's victory last year, the Supreme Court heard arguments in a case about whether illegal immigrants, including those with criminal records, are entitled to bond hearings with the possibility of release. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals held that illegal immigrants were entitled to these hearings, but the high court's left- and right-leaning wings wrestled with the question over whether the class action case before them dealt with a constitutionality question or statutory interpretation.
