The new Supreme Court term is packed full of cases that are going to be important and influential. We're going to go over a few that you should probably keep your eyes open for.

If the court allows it, expect a lot of economic consequences. Also on the shadow docket, Trump V Or is set to determine whether the State Department can refuse issuing trans people passports reflecting their gender. These cases will carry long lasting implications because it will be some time before the Supreme Court reconsiders its own decision. There is an expectation that the court sides with the conservative position in the majority of these cases. At the same time, there might be some surprises with some of these, but I'm sure we'll be talking about all of these in the future. Anyway, it's just a thought y'all have a good day.
