On June 5, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a series of rulings that are expected to have a lasting impact on religious liberty, civil rights, and American power. The Court handed down decisions in six important cases, with five rulings directly affecting the liberties of Americans. These decisions included unanimous rulings on issues related to discrimination, gun rights, and religion, challenging perceptions of deep polarization within the Court. The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) contributed an amicus brief that helped secure one of the key victories. While many rulings showed near-unanimity, particularly on religious rights, the Court also exhibited some divisions on these issues, with one major religious liberty decision still pending at the time. Overall, the Supreme Court’s recent actions reflect a complex balance of consensus and disagreement on pivotal legal questions.
