The Supreme Court has yet to issue opinions in 18 cases heard this term, with less than two weeks left ahead of the high court's summer recess.
Opinions this week are scheduled for Thursday and Friday. While the Supreme Court typically finishes all of its opinions by the end of June, the justices extended their opinion releases into July in both the 2019 and 2020 terms but managed to finish by June 30 last year.
The Supreme Court's 6-3 Republican-appointed majority seemed skeptical that the Biden administration had the authority to forgive hundreds of billions of dollars in debt for more than 40 million borrowers. Conversely, they also appeared leery about whether the individual borrowers or the state plaintiffs had the standing to bring the lawsuits.
The two cases against Harvard University and the University of North Carolina coincide. While UNC is a state school, the question is whether its affirmative action program violates the 14th Amendment's guarantee to equal protection of the law. Although Harvard is private, it is still covered by federal anti-discrimination laws because it receives federal funding for a wide array of programs.
The dispute arose as Congress has repeatedly failed to fulfill proposals to provide greater accommodation for religious observers in the workplace.

Supreme Court turns away veterans who seek disability benefits over 1966 hydrogen bomb accidentThe Supreme Court has rejected an appeal on behalf of some U.S. veterans who want disability benefits because they were exposed to radiation while responding to a Cold War-era hydrogen bomb accident in Spain. The justices not did comment Tuesday in turning away an appeal from Victor Skaar, an Air Force veteran in his mid-80s. Skaar, of Nixa, Missouri, filed class-action claims seeking benefits for him and others who say they became ill from exposure to radiation during the recovery and cleanup of the undetonated bombs at the accident site in Palomares, a village in southern Spain, in 1966. A federal appeals court rejected the class-action claims. The Supreme Court’s action leaves that ruling in place.
