I thought it might be interesting to note the big cases before the court and take a run at how they will rule. I imagine this thread will fall down a ways before the rulings come out but it might be interesting to see how close we were. When I state an opinion it does not mean I agree with the actions, just noting how I believe the court will rule.
Here are the major questions before the Supreme Court this fall - LA Times
Trump and the travel ban
I believe they will come down on the side of Trump.
Religious liberty and gay rights
This one is really hard because it has two rights conflicting with each other. On a purely argumentative discussion I could side either way. I believe they will rule against the baker.
Partisan gerrymandering
They will be very weak here but I believe the ruling will lead to the end of this. I don't think they will come up with a solution but I believe they will rule that the way it is done now is unfair.
Cellphone tracking and privacy
I believe they will rule against the FBI but that in the end we will find out that the FBI has ignored the ruling.
Employees and group arbitration
They will rule against the employees but I hope I am wrong.
Jail before deportation
They will rule that people can not be held indefinitely.
Voting rolls and purges
They will rule against the purges.
Sports betting
I really don't know here. Wild guess. They will rule on the side of the federal law.
Public employees and union fees
They give one back and rule for the employee's.
Job discrimination and gay employees
They will have the right pulling out their hair and rule for the gay employee's.
