SCOTUS\u27s 2016-17 Term: The Calm Before the Storm?

[Excerpt] “The court\u27s just-completed 2016-17 term contained no . . . blockbusters. Its highest profile ruling was an unsigned opinion that modified preliminary injunctions issued by lower courts to prevent President Donald Trump\u27s travel ban orders from going into immediate effect. But that ruling did not decide whether the president\u27s orders are in fact unconstitutional. Instead, the court put that important question off until the fall, by which time further factual developments -for example, the executive branch completing its review and deciding to lift or modify the bans -may well render the issue moot.
