WASHINGTON – THE Supreme Court There are four cases still undecided. In particular, the justices are still weighing whether former President Donald Trump is immune from criminal prosecution in the election interference case against him, about two months after hearing arguments. Although judges normally issue all of their decisions by the end of June, this term is expected to continue until the beginning of July.
The court heard 61 cases during this period.
Here’s a look at two of the key swing cases:
Presidential immunity
Donald Trump is arguing that former presidents are immune from prosecutionfor the official acts they took in office and that the charge he faces on charges of electoral interference must be rejected.
The Supreme Court has previously ruled that former presidents cannot be prosecuted in civil cases for what they did in office, but has never ruled on criminal immunity.
The moment of the decision can be as important as the result. Trump’s trial in Washington, DC, may not take place before the November election, even if the court rules that he is not immune.
Social media
Two cases involve social media laws in Texas and Florida This would limit how Facebook, TikTok, X, YouTube and other social media platforms regulate content posted by their users. While details vary, both laws aimed to respond to conservative complaints that social media companies had liberal leanings and censored users based on their views, especially those on the political right.
