On March 26, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court issued two significant rulings regarding federal regulations. In a notable 8-1 decision, the Court ruled that a bankruptcy trustee cannot claw back federal taxes, affirming the United States' immunity from recalling such payments (United States v. Miller, 23-824). Additionally, in a 7-2 ruling, the Court determined that 'ghost guns'—untraceable firearms that require assembly—are classified as firearms and thus subject to regulation by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). The dissenting opinions in this case were authored by Justices Alito and Thomas (Bondi v. VanDerStock, 23-852). This ruling upholds a Biden administration rule requiring serial numbers and background checks for nearly untraceable ghost gun kits.
