Greetings and welcome to the latest edition of the Injustice System newsletter. It's now the first week of June, which means the U.S. Supreme Court has begun its annual mad dash to release all of its opinions in argued cases from its current term before the justices depart for their summer break. If past SCOTUS terms are any indication, we'll get one or more big opinion drops each week for the next three or four weeks, usually on Thursdays, with everything wrapped up neat and tidy by the final days of June.

By my reckoning, there are still nearly a dozen huge cases left to be decided, dealing with issues ranging from executive power to immigration to digital privacy and the right to be free from unreasonable search and seizure.
