CNN —When special counsel Jack Smith asked the Supreme Court to reject former President Donald Trump’s immunity claims there was an unmistakable hue of urgency to the request. It could grant Trump’s request and then hold arguments and decide the merits of the immunity issue – perhaps on an expedited basis. The Supreme Court can move quickly, at least by judicial branch standards. George Walker IV/APThe Supreme Court denied that request, allowing the appeals court to review the case first.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Monday marks the first day of the U.S. Supreme Court’s new term as it prepares to tackle major cases involving gun rights, the power of federal agencies, social media regulation and Republican-drawn electoral districts, and considers taking up a dispute over the availability of the abortion pill.

The conservative justices in multiple rulings in recent years have pared back the authority of federal agencies including the Environmental Protection Agency. A case to be argued on Nov. 7 presents the conservative justices with an opportunity to broaden gun rights even further. Circuit Court of Appeals in its ruling barred telemedicine prescriptions and shipments of mifepristone by mail.

The justices this term could hear five or more appeals of 5th Circuit rulings. The cases test whether the Supreme Court will go as far as the 5th Circuit. "My instinct is that the Supreme Court will not go this far in most of these cases," Chemerinsky said.

☆ Guns, agency power cases loom as US Supreme Court charts rightward path

People line up in the rain outside of the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington April 29, 2014. Circuit Court of Appeals, whose staunch conservatism rivals that of the Supreme Court. The cases test whether the Supreme Court will go as far as the 5th Circuit. "My instinct is that the Supreme Court will not go this far in most of these cases," Chemerinsky said. "I think the 5th Circuit has taken positions that the most conservative justices will accept, but I would be surprised to see a majority for these positions."

The liberal justices, including Biden's appointee Ketanji Brown Jackson, found themselves in the role of the dissenting minority in some of the nine-month term's biggest cases. The conservative justices invoked the "major questions" doctrine, a muscular judicial approach that gives judges broad discretion to invalidate executive agency actions of "vast economic and political significance" unless Congress clearly authorized them. In those cases, the conservative justices were unified in the majority and the liberal justices dissented. In that case, the liberal justices were joined by one conservative justice, Trump appointee Brett Kavanaugh, in dissenting on the new test. The justices on Friday agreed to decide whether a 1994 federal law that bars people under domestic violence restraining orders from possessing firearms violates the Constitution's Second Amendment.
