Overview

• The justices will rule on whether federal judges can maintain nationwide injunctions that have so far blocked President Trump’s executive order ending automatic birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment.
• A decision limiting nationwide injunctions may restrict courts from imposing sweeping halts on executive actions and reshape the balance of judicial oversight.
• Separate opinions will address whether conservative parents can opt their children out of LGBTQ-themed storybooks in public school lessons and whether Louisiana’s congressional map unlawfully factors race in creating a second Black majority district.
• The court will also consider a Texas law requiring age verification for online adult content, a challenge to the Affordable Care Act’s preventive care recommendations, and an FCC program subsidizing phone and internet services in underserved areas.
• In a related vote Thursday, a divided bench approved states’ ability to withhold Medicaid funds from Planned Parenthood, reflecting the conservative majority’s approach to health care funding.
