Pending rulings include a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scotusblog.com\/case-files\/cases\/new-york-state-rifle-pistol-association-inc-v-bruen\/\">Second Amendment case<\/a> stemming from New York, a case on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scotusblog.com\/case-files\/cases\/carson-v-makin\/\">religion in schools<\/a>, and a decision on the Biden administration\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scotusblog.com\/case-files\/cases\/biden-v-texas-2\/\">attempt<\/a> to end the Trump-era \u201cRemain in Mexico\u201d policy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>June has always been a \u201chectic\u201d and \u201ccontentious\u201d time for the Supreme Court, former Solicitor General Greg Garre told Bloomberg. However, this month will be historically controversial as the American people wait on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/how-a-lawsuit-from-mississippis-lone-licensed-abortion-clinic-led-to-the-supreme-court-case-of-a-generation\">Dobbs v.

But the storm clouds obviously look more severe in terms of what could lie ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Conservatives are optimistic about the significant decisions coming out this month, thanks to former President Donald Trump\u2019s three appointed justices, who, along with three previously Republican-appointed justices, give the Court an originalist edge.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The conservative-leaning Court\u2019s stance on abortion was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-supreme-court-strikes-down-roe-v-wade-decision-in-draft-of-majority-opinion-report-says\">revealed<\/a> in early May when a leaked draft of the majority opinion, authored by Justice Samuel Alito, was published by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2022\/05\/02\/supreme-court-abortion-draft-opinion-00029473\">Politico<\/a>. The unprecedented leak sent shockwaves throughout the country as pro-abortion rights advocates bemoaned the draft opinion, and pro-life supporters cheered that nearly 50 years of abortion protection could soon end.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter almost 50 years, we really could see a major sea change in the country,\u201d National Right to Life Committee President Carol Tobias said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The date for the final ruling on Dobbs v.
