Decisions Decisions
It’s crunch time for Uncle Sam’s High Court.
Here are (a few) of this week’s Supreme decisions:
A 6-3 decision allows the government to request social media companies remove alleged misinformation—a win for the Biden Administration.
A 6-3 decision allows Idaho hospitals to perform abortions when a woman’s health is endangered (state law previously only allowed abortion when a woman’s life was endangered). The procedural decision sends the case back to the lower courts to consider the merits.
A 5-4 decision rejects OxyContin-maker Purdue Pharma’s bankruptcy settlement plan due to a provision that would have shielded the company’s former owners, the Sackler family, without them having to declare personal bankruptcy.
They have six more decisions this term, including a highly-anticipated ruling on presidential immunity.

ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE
Our hope is never contingent on a court’s decision; it’s much more secure than that. Regardless of whether things get worse or better during your lifetime, everything eventually ends well for followers of Christ.
“On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand.” - Edward Mote, 1863 (Scriptural basis: Heb 13:8, Matt 7:24, Psalm 18:2)
