The U.S. Supreme Court has fallen behind pace, and will have to sprint to the end of its term with a series of decisions over the next month.
Analysts said there are relatively few high-profile cases still awaiting a ruling, but among the ones most anticipated are decisions in a case involving taxpayer support for secular activities at churches and a trademark case that could decide whether the Washington Redskins’ trademark is deemed racist.
“This is a term that’s not as interesting as most,” said Carrie Severino, chief counsel at the conservative Judicial Crisis Network and a former law clerk for Justice Clarence Thomas.
