It’s decision time at the Supreme Court, as the justices prepare to hand down the final rulings of their current term by the end of this month. They are due to rule in 21 cases, including disputes over religion, free speech and immigration that could have broad significance. The court is also expected to take up a major case on partisan gerrymandering from Wisconsin which could yield early next year an important ruling on political power. It led to a ruling from the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals putting limits on the jailing of immigrants. But the 9th Circuit Court said the law itself was unconstitutionally vague because it did not define a crime of violence.
