In late June and early July, the Supreme Court concluded its term by issuing a series of controversial rulings dramatically altering the allocation of power among the President, Congress, and the courts. The Court released over 50 opinions during the past term, covering issues ranging from immigration to January 6th criminal charges to content moderation.
