2:41Now PlayingA list of potentially ground-breaking cases is filling up the Supreme Court's docket this term.
One case examines whether it is legal for the United States to detain immigrants for longer than six months without a bail hearing. Another explores whether Texas is allowed to execute a convicted man who is now found to be disabled. Other cases touch on topics such as insider trading regulation and the constitutionality of funding to religious institutions.
Yet the outcomes of these cases are held back by the unfilled seat on the Supreme Court. Until the Supreme Court votes in its ninth Supreme Court justice, which likely won't be until after the presidential election, all of these groundbreaking cases could end up in a 4-4 vote, which would mean deadlock and the upholding of the lower court's decision.
