Although liberal justices prevailed in rulings on voting rights, election law and Native American rights, those legal issues could yet return to the court.
WASHINGTON — In several recent rulings, the Supreme Court unexpectedly handed wins to liberal advocates on election law, minority voting rights and Native American issues, but all three rulings were not conclusive.
Rick Hasen, an election law expert at UCLA School of Law said the voting rights and election cases both constitute"ticking time bombs" because of what was left undecided.The court still has major cases to decide in the coming days on affirmative action in college admissions and President Joe Biden’s student loan debt relief plan, with more rulings set to be released on Thursday. Few expect liberals to prevail in those cases.
Conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh joined the majority but wrote separately that his vote did not rule out challenges to the provision in question based on whether there is a time at which the 1965 law’s authorization of the consideration of race in redistricting is no longer justified.to the Indian Child Welfare Act, a 1978 law enacted to keep Native American children within tribes, followed that same pattern.
Most court-watchers expect the run of liberal victories to come to a halt in the last days of the term. Ending affirmative action has been a decades-long conservative cause, while the student loan plan plays into the conservative justices' often-expressed concern about presidents overstepping their authority without explicit congressional authorization.
