The biggest Supreme Court cases of 2021

By Thomas A. Smith

The Supreme Court is poised to have a blockbuster 2021.

Since it began its October term, the court has already weighed in on several big issues. The day before Thanksgiving, it found that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo s coronavirus restrictions placed an unfair burden on houses of worship the first in a series of favorable religious freedom nods. The court in December decided against taking up a challenge to President Trump s order excluding illegal immigrants from the census, setting the stage for future fights.

There s much more to come in the spring, and with the addition of Justice Amy Coney Barrett, the court is expected to swing in a decidedly conservative direction. Below is a list of the biggest Supreme Court cases teed up for next year.

What a bunch of great cases! Seriously. Makes me think I should have been an appellate litigator. Yet from the people I knew, that is supposed to suck. Oh well.
