The Supreme Court is poised to release a series of decisions this week that could have far-reaching implications.Among the cases to be decided is whether former President Donald Trump is immune from criminal prosecution in his federal election interference trial. The court is also set to rule on a contentious abortion issue. Specifically, whether hospitals receiving federal funds are required to perform the procedure in medical emergencies, even in states with sweeping abortion bans. The justices are also considering content regulations on social media, a nationwide settlement stemming from the opioid epidemic, and whether to overturn a ruling that says when laws aren’t clear, judges defer to federal agencies. The 40-year-old ruling colloquially known as “Chevron” has been cited thousands of times in federal court cases and used to uphold regulations on the environment, public health, workplace safety and consumer protections.The court’s decisions are expected to be released on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. These are the last three scheduled days for the court this term.
