Supreme Court Limits Injunctions, Rules on Key Cases

The U.S. Supreme Court concluded its term by issuing several major rulings, including a 6-3 decision that restricts individual federal judges from granting nationwide injunctions. This ruling, seen as a victory for President Trump, enables the administration to advance policies such as ending birthright citizenship more quickly, although further legal challenges remain possible. The Court also upheld a Texas law mandating age verification for online pornography, signaling a significant change in First Amendment internet law. In addition, the Court deferred a decision on Louisiana’s congressional redistricting map and ruled in favor of parents asserting religious objections to LGBTQ-inclusive storybooks in public schools. These decisions highlight the Court's influence on issues ranging from immigration and civil rights to online protections and state legislative authority. The outcomes are expected to have lasting effects on the scope of federal judicial power and national policy.
