**Supreme Court Delivers Wins for Religious Freedom, Limits Nationwide Injunctions in Final Rulings of Term**
**Washington D.C.** – The Supreme Court concluded its 2024 term with a series of landmark decisions, revealing both ideological divisions and surprising alignments. In a term-ending flurry, the court sided with religious freedom advocates, limited the scope of nationwide injunctions against executive actions, and addressed healthcare access.
In a victory for the Trump administration, the conservative majority curtailed the power of courts to issue nationwide injunctions, siding with the argument that such injunctions represent judicial overreach. This ruling, stemming from *Trump v. CASA*, limits future challenges to executive orders, confining relief primarily to the specific plaintiffs involved in a case.
The Court also handed down decisions favorable to religious freedom. In *Mahmoud v. Taylor*, the court ruled that parents have the right to opt their children out of school materials with LGBTQ themes, arguing that school policies that prevent this undermine parents’ religious views and promote ideological conformity.
Furthermore, the court upheld a Texas law requiring age verification for access to online pornography in *Free Speech Coalition v. Ken Paxton*, asserting that adults do not have a First Amendment right to avoid age verification.
However, ideological lines blurred in *Kennedy v. Braidwood Management*, where three conservative justices joined the liberal wing to uphold the constitutionality of a government task force responsible for determining preventative healthcare coverage under the Affordable Care Act. The court ruled that the task force, comprised of “inferior officers,” did not require Senate approval.
