More than 45,000 people joined us yesterday as we live blogged the court's final opinion announcement day for the 2025-26 term. Catch-up on the court's rulings and our coverage by reading this morning's SCOTUStoday newsletter.

Clarence Thomas says the 14th Amendment should be read narrowly because it was written for formerly enslaved people. By that logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets, not AR-15s. Funny how that kind of originalism only shows up when it's convenient.

NEW: Oil companies are blasting millions of gallons of toxic waste underground each year — less than a half-mile from Enid, Oklahoma’s water wells. But to protect their city, officials must appeal to the state agency that created the problem. With @readfrontier.bsky.social

Just shocking this was a 5-4 ruling. This Court is so so badly broken.

The Supreme Court ruled correctly on birthright citizenship, but the vote revealed an outrageous conclusion from the dissenting justices, says Harvard Law’s @noahfeldman.bsky.social 🎥

"US and Israeli interests no longer align," writes @kennethroth.bsky.social. "Trump wants a ceasefire; Netanyahu wants endless war."

The SCOTUS today reaffirmed the guarantee of birthright citizenship. In so doing, it affirms the 1898 SCOTUS decision in Won Kim Ark. United States. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Yes, the Supreme Court eventually did the right thing on birthright citizenship, but its decision took a long time and was too close for comfort

NEW: The Supreme Court will decide next term whether the Second Amendment guarantees the right to own assault rifles.

thomas simply couldn't join the opinion, this corrupt, misanthropic bigot had to throw in his two cents and put his bigotry into the record

Trump is a combination of grandiosity and incompetence

NEW RULE: whenever I call for expanding the Supreme Court, it’s always 2029. But we have to start now by flipping the senate. No need to say “shouldn’t we wait until we have a Dem president?” Yes. You can always assume that. Thanks!

I do not think there is sufficient appreciation for how catastrophic yesterday’s decision in Slaughter is for this country. As Justice Sotomayor said in her dissent and she intoned from the bench yesterday, “today the majority reshapes our Govt.”

BREAKING: LeBron James announces departure from Supreme Court, plans to play next season on lower circuits.

Guillermo del Toro’s masterpiece Pan’s Labyrinth is headed back to theaters for the film’s 20th anniversary this Halloween season, and the official 20th anniversary trailer has arrived this morning.

In a sane world (an alt reality) today's dissents would sufficient to warrant Thomas, Gorsuch and Alito's impeachment and removal from office. If you defy the plain words, meaning, intent, history, precedent of a black letter constitutional injunction u are abusing your power and should be removed.

Sounds like SCOTUS judicial abdication of its oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States

Donald Trump came one vote away from getting the Supreme Court to say that the 14th Amendment does not guarantee birthright citizenship for the children of undocumented and temporary immigrants, a view held only by fringe far-right nativists until VERY recently. This is shocking. I am stunned.

Everyone should be extremely concerned that birthright citizenship was 5-4 and not unanimous.
