Voting rights and the protection of workers, consumers, health, safety and the environment are on the court’s docket.

The 2023-2024 Supreme Court term will begin on Monday, October 2. Dominated by six right-wingers, the court has agreed to review cases in which voting rights, consumer protection, and the regulation of health and safety, workers’ rights and the environment are in jeopardy. The cases present the issues of gerrymandering and the power of administrative agencies. In light of its recent conservative rulings, we should be wary about how the court will rule on these critical matters.

Besides the cases already on the Supreme Court’s docket, the court will add more cases by mid-January. Their decisions will be issued by the end of June or beginning of July 2024.

Here are three impactful cases that are already on the court’s docket for its forthcoming term:


1. Survival of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

2. Racial Gerrymandering vs. Partisan Gerrymandering

3. Executive vs. Judicial Power to Regulate Health, Safety, Labor, Environment
