Instead, it signaled that it will save these crucial decisions for the final weeks of June. This means that matters such as the fate of affirmative action and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/experts-scotus-likely-to-rule-biden-student-loan-bailout-is-illegal\/\" title=\"Experts: SCOTUS Likely to Rule Biden Student Loan Bailout Is Illegal\">student loan challenges<\/a> will be left hanging until then.<\/p>\n<h3>Opinions Authored by Liberal Justices<\/h3>\n<p>On Friday, two opinions were delivered by liberal Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson and Elena Kagan. Jackson&#8217;s unanimous decision in Lora v. United States favored a criminal defendant on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/supreme-court-news-justices-punt-on-major-cases-while-liberals-score-majorities-in-two-rulings\/\" title=\"Supreme Court update: Justices avoid major cases, liberals secure two rulings.\">federal sentencing statute challenge<\/a>. The court ruled that sentences imposed under Section 924(j) can run concurrently or consecutively with another sentence. This decision specifically impacted Efrain Lora, a Bronx drug dealer, who should have served concurrent sentences instead of consecutive ones.<\/p>\n<p>Kagan&#8217;s opinion in United States ex rel. Polansky v. Executive Health Resources, on the other hand, preserved the Justice Department&#8217;s ability to dismiss a lawsuit against a UnitedHealth Group unit. Jesse Polansky, a former employee, accused the company of wrongdoing. Kagan&#8217;s majority holding was supported by all justices except for Clarence Thomas, who dissented.<\/p>\n<h3>Remaining Cases and Key Issues<\/h3>\n<p>The Supreme Court still has 18 cases left to decide before the end of its term in June. Some of the major decisions that are yet to be made include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The fate of affirmative action in a challenge to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/apologists-for-race-based-college-admissions-cant-explain-its-educational-benefits\/\" title=\"Apologists for Race-Based College Admissions Can\u2019t Explain Its Educational Benefits\">race-based admission policies<\/a> at Harvard University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.<\/li>\n<li>President Joe Biden&#8217;s plan to provide up to $20,000 in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ocasio-cortez-fires-back-after-biden-rejects-proposal-to-cancel-50k-in-student-loan-debt\/\" title=\"Ocasio-Cortez Fires Back After Biden Rejects Proposal To Cancel K In Student Loan Debt\">student loan relief<\/a> under his debt forgiveness program.<\/li>\n<li>A First Amendment case involving LGBT rights and religious freedom, specifically a challenge to a public accommodations law in Colorado.<\/li>\n<li>A religious rights challenge in a dispute surrounding a Christian mail carrier who claims he was denied religious accommodations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The next opportunity for the Supreme Court to address these major topics will be on Thursday, June 22.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Supreme Court postponed rulings on significant cases, indicating that decisions regarding affirmative action and student loan challenges will be made in late June.
