June 27, 2025 — SCOTUS Set to Close Its Term with Major Decisions
What to Watch as the Supreme Court Wraps Its Term
The Supreme Court is set to release its final opinions of the term today, starting at 10 a.m. Eastern. Several major rulings are still pending.
Here’s what to watch:
1. Education and Parental Rights
A case out of Maryland asks whether public schools can require all students to participate in lessons that include LGBTQ+ themes, even over parental objections.
The plaintiffs argue that the lack of an opt-out policy violates their rights.
2. Online Regulation and Free Speech
Texas passed a 2023 law requiring adult websites to verify the ages of all users. Industry groups challenged the law, claiming it violates the First Amendment and burdens user privacy.
The ruling could shape the boundaries of state control over online platforms.
3. Voting Rights and Representation
In Louisiana, the Court is weighing whether the state must preserve a second majority-Black congressional district.
The outcome could affect redistricting practices and alter the political map ahead of the 2026 midterms.
4. Citizenship and Constitutional Interpretation
An executive order issued under the Trump administration challenged birthright citizenship for children born to undocumented immigrants.
The Court may decide whether the case can proceed and whether federal courts can issue broad national injunctions against such policies.
We’ll return this evening with a full breakdown of the decisions and what they could mean.
