The Supreme Court did not act on President Donal Trump’s travel ban in a list of orders issued at 9:30 a.m. on Monday morning. There is another conference later today meaning that a decision may still be made before Tuesday morning.

The justices are expected to issue their last orders today before heading for summer break.

During the morning session, the justices reversed a lower court’s church-and-state ruling against a church playground in Missouri which was excluded from receiving state funds intended for non-profits. 

“The exclusion of Trinity Lutheran from a public benefit for which it is otherwise qualified, solely because it is a church, is odious to our Constitution all the same, and cannot stand,” Justice John Glover Roberts Jr. wrote in his opinion.

The Court also agreed today to hear a case next fall of a Colorado man who refuses to make cakes for same-sex couples because it violates his religious beliefs.
