Here are cases that have likely been added to the 22nd edition:
Presidential powers and immunity
- Trump v. United States (2024): The Court addressed the extent of presidential immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts taken while in office. The Court ruled that former presidents have immunity for acts within their "core constitutional powers" and presumptive immunity for other official actions, but not for unofficial acts.
Elections and redistricting
- Trump v. Anderson (2024): This case examined whether states could remove former President Trump from the ballot based on the 14th Amendment's insurrection clause. The Court unanimously held that only Congress has the authority to enforce this section against federal officeholders and candidates.
- Alexander v. South Carolina State Conference of the NAACP (2024): The Court reviewed a challenge to South Carolina's congressional redistricting plan based on claims of racial gerrymandering. The Court reversed a lower court's decision, finding the map was not a racial gerrymander and could be used.
Gun rights
- United States v. Rahimi (2024): The Court considered if a federal law prohibiting gun possession by domestic abusers violates the Second Amendment. The Court upheld the law, finding it consistent with the Second Amendment to disarm those who pose a credible threat.
- Garland v. Cargill (2024): This case questioned if bump stocks are "machineguns" under federal law. The Court ruled that they are not, striking down a federal ban.
- Garland v. VanDerStok (2025): The Court addressed whether the federal government could regulate "ghost guns". The Court upheld a regulation requiring background checks, serial numbers, and sales records for these weapons.
Freedom of speech and religion
- Mahmoud v. Taylor (2025): This case involved parents' ability to withdraw children from public school lessons with LGBTQ+-themed storybooks. The Court ruled that school officials cannot require participation in such lessons if they conflict with parents' religious beliefs.
- Moody v. NetChoice, LLC and NetChoice, LLC v. Paxton (2024): These cases concerned Texas and Florida laws aiming to prevent social media companies from removing certain political posts. The Court vacated and remanded lower court rulings, stating neither court had properly addressed First Amendment challenges.
- TikTok, Inc. and ByteDance LTD v. Garland (2025): The Court unanimously upheld a federal law requiring TikTok to be sold or banned due to national security concerns. The Court found the law does not violate users' free speech rights.
Other notable cases
- Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo (2024): This case challenged "Chevron deference," which requires courts to defer to federal agencies' interpretations of ambiguous statutes. The Court overturned Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council, ending this practice.
- City of Grants Pass v. Johnson (2024): The Court considered if laws criminalizing homelessness violate the Eighth Amendment. The Court ruled that city ordinances banning sleeping in public do not violate the Eighth Amendment, even for homeless individuals without shelter options.
- Food and Drug Administration v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine (2024): This case involved a challenge to the FDA's approval of the abortion drug mifepristone. The Court ruled in favor of the FDA, finding that the plaintiffs lacked standing to sue.
This is a selection of some of the most significant constitutional law cases decided by the Supreme Court between 2023 and 2025. The full list of cases heard during this period is more extensive.
