I'll throw a few posts out trying to assess the impact the Supreme Court had this past year. This is a good place to start.

The Supreme Court of the United States is the highest judicial body in the country and leads the judicial branch of the federal government. It is often referred to by the acronym SCOTUS.
The court heard all oral arguments in cases accepted for the term remotely via teleconference and provided live audio streams of the argument sessions. The court made the decision in accordance with public health guidance in response to COVID-19. Click here for more information about the court's response to the coronavirus pandemic.
The court issued 67 opinions during its 2020-2021 term. Two cases were decided in one consolidated opinion. Ten cases were decided without argument. Click here for more information on the court's opinions.
The court agreed to hear 62 cases during its 2020-2021 term. Of those, 12 were originally scheduled for the 2019-2020 term but were delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic. Five cases were removed from the argument calendar.
Here is a complete list of the cases heard this term. Later I'll highlight the ones that seem significant.
