Supreme Court Issues Three Unanimous Rulings on Guns, Employment, Religion

The U.S. Supreme Court recently delivered several unanimous decisions that reflect a significant moment of consensus among the justices. One ruling dismissed Mexico's $10 billion lawsuit against American gun manufacturers, affirming that the companies are protected under current laws despite claims of facilitating illegal arms trafficking. Another important decision, authored by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, rejected the imposition of a higher legal standard for discrimination claims by straight employees, emphasizing equal protections under federal employment law for all sexual orientations. The Court also ruled in favor of Catholic Charities, reinforcing government neutrality toward religious organizations and enabling broader eligibility for tax exemptions related to unemployment compensation. These decisions come amid other court activities, including a notable dissent by Justice Kavanaugh in a case involving class certification under the Americans with Disabilities Act, which the Court ultimately declined to hear. Overall, the Supreme Court's recent rulings demonstrate a notable unity on key legal issues affecting gun manufacturing liability, employment discrimination protections, and religious freedoms.
