Goldey v. Fields (June 30, 2025)

FCC v. Consumers' Research (June 27, 2025)

The universal-service contribution scheme implemented by the FCC did not violate the non-delegation doctrine because Congress provided the FCC with determinate standards for operating the program, and it did not violate the private non-delegation doctrine because the agency retained decision-making power while enlisting private parties to give it recommendations.

Trump v. CASA, Inc. (June 27, 2025)

Universal injunctions, in which district courts assert the power to prohibit enforcement of a law or policy against anyone, likely exceed the equitable authority that Congress has granted to federal courts.

Free Speech Coalition, Inc. v. Paxton (June 27, 2025)

A law requiring adults to verify their age before they can access speech that is obscene to children is subject only to intermediate scrutiny because it has only an incidental effect on protected speech. (The law at issue here met that standard.)

Kennedy v. Braidwood Management, Inc. (June 27, 2025)

Members of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force within the Department of Health and Human Services are inferior executive officers who may be appointed by the Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Mahmoud v. Taylor (June 27, 2025)

The government cannot condition the benefit of free public education on parents’ acceptance of instruction that poses a very real threat of undermining the religious beliefs and practices that the parents wish to instill in their children.

Gutierrez v. Saenz (June 26, 2025)

A death row inmate had standing to challenge Texas DNA testing procedures under the Due Process Clause.

Hewitt v. United States (June 26, 2025)

All first-time 18 U.S.C. §924(c) offenders who appear for sentencing after the First Step Act’s enactment date, including those whose previous §924(c) sentences have been vacated and who thus need to be resentenced, are subject to the Act’s revised penalties.

Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic (June 26, 2025)

Individual Medicaid beneficiaries do not have a right to sue state officials for failing to comply with Medicaid's any-qualified-provider provision.

Riley v. Bondi (June 26, 2025)

A Board of Immigration Appeals order in a withholding-only proceeding is not a “final order of removal.” The 30-day filing deadline for judicial review of a final order of removal cannot be satisfied by filing a petition for review within 30 days of the BIA’s withholding-only order. Also, the deadline is not jurisdictional.
