The Supreme Court released nine opinions in the second to last week before its term is set to end. So far, the court has ruled on guns, taxation, abortion, and various aspects of criminal and immigration law but its most hotly anticipated decisions have yet to be released.
On June 21, an 8-1 court upheld limitations on gun rights for individuals with domestic violence restraining orders in United States v. Rahimi. The only dissenter was Justice Clarence Thomas who argued that the court’s prior decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen suggested the restriction on gun ownership needed to have a historical basis but that no “historical regulation justifies the statute at issue.”
