The US Supreme Court has wrapped up oral arguments for this term and now prepares to deliver key rulings. Among the most closely watched are Supreme Court rulings on Trump, religious freedom, and transgender health care. These decisions are expected in the coming weeks before the justices recess for summer.
The court heard its final case. Justices debated how much legal resistance should exist against Trump’s executive orders. One focus was his attempt to end birthright citizenship for most people born in the United States.
Though this term lacks headline-grabbing topics like abortion or gun control, it still holds weight. The court’s docket includes nearly three dozen unresolved cases, many with lasting implications.
A major theme this term is religious liberty. Jessica Levinson, a Loyola Law School professor, highlighted the term’s emphasis on religious rights. She believes the court’s conservative majority will likely side with claimants asserting religious freedom violations.
The 6-3 conservative bench has repeatedly shown preference toward individuals claiming faith-based discrimination. This trend has shaped many recent rulings, and it could intensify further this term.
According to Levinson, this moment represents a turning point. “This term, in many ways, is going to be the culmination of a number of cases that began eight to 10 years ago,” she said.
Alongside religious rights, the court will also rule on a major transgender rights case. At issue is whether states can legally ban gender-affirming care for minors. Though not directly tied to religion, legal experts say it reflects similar cultural forces.
Michael Dorf, a professor at Cornell Law School, noted the overlap. He said this case fits into the broader social debates driving the religious liberty disputes.
Supreme Court rulings on Trump, religious liberty, and transgender care may not dominate headlines now. Yet, legal scholars warn they could quietly reshape American jurisprudence.
As summer approaches, all eyes are on the justices. Their decisions could influence civil rights, presidential authority, and healthcare access for years to come.
