Supreme Court term ended with a series of decisions that expanded presidential authority, curtailed congressional power, and altered voting rights protections.

The Court, composed of a 6‑3 conservative majority with Chief Justice John Roberts, has issued rulings that affect the structure of government and civil rights.

On April 29 the Court decided in Louisiana v. Callais that states may redraw congressional districts in ways that dilute minority voting power, effectively weakening the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and limiting Congress’s ability to enforce the Fifteenth Amendment.

On June 29 the Court held in Trump v. Slaughter that the president may remove the heads of independent regulatory agencies for any reason, overturning the 1935 precedent Humphrey’s Executor.

In three immigration cases the Court allowed the administration to terminate temporary protected status for Haitian and Syrian residents, to limit asylum processing, and to give border officers discretion to deny green‑card status.

In Landor v. Louisiana Department of Corrections the Court ruled that a prisoner could not sue over the removal of his religious head covering, limiting enforcement of religious‑rights provisions in federal funding statutes.

In NRSC v. FEC the Court struck down a campaign‑finance rule that capped direct contributions to candidates, permitting donors to route large sums through party committees and increasing the influence of wealthy contributors.

The decisions collectively shift authority toward the executive and private wealth while reducing congressional ability to enforce laws, and they leave open questions about future challenges to birthright citizenship and the scope of agency independence.
