As of June 25-26, 2026, the Supreme Court has 8 undecided cases remaining from the argued cases in its 2025-2026 term.
The Court plans to issue opinions in some or all of them on Monday, June 29, along with a "clean-up" order list.
Major Pending Cases (Based on Recent Reporting)
These high-profile cases are among those still awaiting decisions. Note that exact lists can shift slightly as opinions issue, and not all 8 are equally prominent:
-
Birthright citizenship (Trump v. Barbara or similar): Challenge to President Trump's executive order limiting birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment for children of non-citizens (including those here illegally or on temporary visas). Lower courts blocked it as unconstitutional.
-
Transgender athletes in sports (Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B.P.J.): Challenges to state laws banning transgender girls/women from competing in women's school/college sports. Issues involve equal protection, Title IX, and fairness.
-
Independent agency removals / presidential power (Trump v. Slaughter): Whether statutory "for cause" protections for FTC commissioners (and similar independent agencies) violate separation of powers; potential to overrule or limit Humphrey’s Executor.
-
Federal Reserve / central bank independence (Trump v. Cook): Related to attempts to remove Fed Governor Lisa Cook; tests limits on presidential firing power for the Fed specifically.
-
Mail-in / late ballots (Watson v. Republican National Committee): Whether states can count mail-in ballots received after Election Day (if postmarked on time), under federal election law and state authority.
-
Geofence warrants (Chatrie v. United States): Fourth Amendment challenge to warrants requiring tech companies (e.g., Google) to search location data for all devices in a geographic area around a crime scene.
Some TPS/immigration cases (e.g., Mullin v. Doe / Trump v. Miot) were decided on June 25 in favor of the administration's authority to end protections.
Other Context
The term involved roughly 58-59 argued cases total, with the Court having issued around 54+ opinions by late June (plus some decided without argument). Remaining cases often include a mix of the highest-profile ones and a few narrower ones.
Major decisions are expected soon to wrap up the term before the summer recess.
These are some Key issues for the Nation..
We can only pray that the court does it's job and decides once and for all these important cases - especially birth right citizenship, DEI, and issues involving voting. That is the court's function. Now do it. It is time to put these lower Federal court judges in their place.
I truly hope so. Its REALLY old and I'm TRULY tired of the bullshit
I haven't seen mention of it on GAW, but the very recent ruling barring folks from suing Monsanto for cancer seems like a kick in the gut.
I read that as SCOTUS disallowed the state from forcing Monsanto to add cancer label to round-up product, and that has something to do with going by EPA regulations. IOW if EPA does not make it happen, it want happen.
Birthright, The Fed, and Mail in/late ballots. Monumental decisions that shape the future. They better not fuck this up because it could mean future conflict paid in blood if they choose poorly.
Wise comment, like you see a movie not even filmed yet.
Thanks for the post. I didn't realize the Supremes had such juicy stuff going on.
When does the DEI get null & void?!
Very exciting times.
Thanks Mods!
My thoughts re mail in ballots...... There should be a deadline that ballots are received and counted BEFORE election day. They get their ballots ahead of time, so fill it out and send it in about one week before election day (no excuses). This way on election Day the only count is in person voting.
Good process. Hope we can get there.
