Schwartz, Bloomberg Law<\/p><div><p>In a podcast interview for Bloomberg Law, retired Justice Stephen Breyer reflected on what led him to retire in 2022, noting that \u201c\u2018it\u2019s possible, of course,\u2019 that who occupies the White House plays a role in when justices opt to leave the US Supreme Court,\u201d but adding that \u201c\u2018[t]here are lots of things involved.\u2019\u201d \u201cThere\u2019s your family, your children, your grandchildren, what are you going to do? There are all kinds of things involved\u201d in the decision, he said. Breyer also commented on the country\u2019s 250th birthday, saying that \u201che remains optimistic about the country\u2019s future based on his talks with middle school students.\u201d \u201cThey are interested. And therefore there is a reason for being optimistic, even though people in this country do not always agree with each other,\u201d Breyer said.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div><h3>Judge rejects Trump bid to delay $5.8M payment to E.

Carroll then \u201casked a federal court in Manhattan on June 30 to order Trump to pay her the money,\u201d plus around $800,000 in \u201cinterest that has been accruing while Trump pursued his appeal,\u201d according to USA Today. Trump\u2019s legal team asked the Manhattan court for extra time to respond to Carroll\u2019s filing, emphasizing that a new addition to the team \u201cneeds time to learn the case,\u201d but \u201cU.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan &#8230; denied the request in a one-sentence order July 4.\u201d Trump\u2019s team must now file its reply to Carroll\u2019s request for the payment by tomorrow.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div><h3>\u2018God commands us not to kill\u2019: Faith leaders protest 50 years of executions<\/h3><p>Aleja Hertzler-McCain and Chloe Landen, Religion News Service<\/p><div><p>July 2 marked 50 years since the Supreme Court in <em>Gregg v.

Last week finally gave us the answer, as the justices issued decisions on executive power, mail-in ballots, and geofence warrants and the Fourth Amendment on Monday, June 29, followed by rulings on birthright citizenship, campaign finance, and transgender athletes on the last day of the term for opinions issued in argued cases, which ended up being on Tuesday, June 30.<\/p><p>That pattern is not unique to this term.<\/p><p>Last year, the court issued its final five decisions in argued cases on Friday, June 27, 2025, after releasing four opinions the day before. The June 27 release included <em>Trump v. CASA<\/em>, <em>Mahmoud v. Taylor<\/em>, and <em>Free Speech Coalition, Inc. v. Paxton<\/em>. In <em>CASA<\/em>, a 6-3 majority held that federal courts lack the authority to issue \u201cuniversal\u201d injunctions. The case arose from challenges to President Donald Trump\u2019s executive order on birthright citizenship, though the court did not address the constitutionality of the order itself until last week. In <em>Mahmoud<\/em>, the majority sided with a group of Maryland parents who sought to opt their children out of public-school instruction involving LGBTQ+ themed storybooks, holding that the school board\u2019s no \u201copt-out\u201d policy likely violated the parents\u2019 right to free exercise of religion under the First Amendment. In <em>Paxton<\/em>, the court upheld a Texas law requiring pornography websites to verify users\u2019 ages (holding that the law was subject to intermediate, rather than strict, scrutiny.)<\/p><p>On July 1, 2024, the last day of opinion hand downs for argued cases of the 2023-24 term, the court issued three decisions, including <em>Trump v. United States<\/em>, the presidential immunity case. <em>Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo<\/em>, which overturned the landmark administrative-deference doctrine from , was decided a few days before, on June 28.<\/p><p>When we look at the 2022-23 term, the major cases were similarly condensed: On June 29, 2023, the court issued <em>Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard<\/em>, holding that affirmative action in college admissions is unconstitutional. As for the final such day, which \u2013 like this term \u2013 was on June 30, the court released three decisions: <em>303 Creative LLC v. Elenis<\/em>, in which the justices held that the First Amendment prevented Colorado from forcing a website designer to create wedding websites for same-sex couples against her religious objections; and <em>Biden v. Nebraska<\/em> and <em>Department of Education v. Brown<\/em>, in which the court held that the Biden administration\u2019s plan to forgive around $430 billion in federal student loan debt exceeded the authority granted to the secretary of education.<\/p><p>The 2021-22 term was perhaps the most remarkable in recent memory for sheer blockbuster cases, though notably, its two biggest decisions did not fall on the term\u2019s last days before summer recess. <em>New York State Rifle &amp; Pistol Association v. Bruen<\/em>, which was the court\u2019s \u201cfirst significant decision on gun rights in over a decade,\u201d holding that the\u00a0Second Amendment protects a broad right to carry a handgun outside the home for self-defense,\u201d was decided on June 23, 2022. <em>Dobbs v. Jackson Women\u2019s Health Organization<\/em> came the very next day on June 24, 2022, overturning . The court then issued two opinions on June 29, 2022, and its final two on June 30, 2022, a week after <em>Dobbs<\/em> and more than a week after <em>Bruen<\/em>.<\/p><p>But why do the term\u2019s biggest cases often come out later than their counterparts on the merits docket? In February, SCOTUSblog contributor Adam Feldman wrote that two factors, a case\u2019s complexity and the resulting negotiations between the justices, are likely the main drivers. Looking at more than 1,700 argued cases decided between 2000 and the start of the 2025-26 term, Feldman found that close cases take longer to write, with unanimous decisions averaging just under 77 days from argument to opinion, while two-and four-vote margin cases averaged around 125 and 122 days, respectively. Feldman also found that the gap between argument and decision has generally gotten larger over the past two decades, and attributed this to case complexity, with \u201c[d]ivided cases typically involv[ing] harder questions, more competing interests, and greater difficulty in crafting majority opinions that can hold five or more votes,\u201d meaning the cases \u201cnaturally take longer to resolve, and their concentration at term\u2019s end reflects this reality.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div><div><h2>SCOTUS Quote<\/h2><div><div><p>\u201cWhen an agency \u2018executes\u2019 a congressional mandate against private parties, it exercises executive power\u2014no ifs, ands, or quasis about it.\u201d<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/americanservicereview.com\/?p=332\">250 and the court<\/a><\/p><p>\u2014 Chief Justice John Roberts in \u00a0(2026)<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The court just wrapped up a momentous term.
