Coverage of key 2023–2024 Supreme Court developments, including:
- Trump v. U.S., holding that Presidents are entitled to at least a presumption of immunity from criminal prosecution for their official acts. In some contexts, the immunity is absolute, and in others, the President benefits from a strong “presumption of immunity” that will be difficult for the prosecution to rebut.
- U.S. v. Rahimi, a Second Amendment case, holding that government may restrict certain persons from owning guns. However, the restriction must be “relevantly similar” to restrictions that existed in 1791.
- Moody v. NetChoice, LLC, indicating that government likely violates the free-expression rights of a social media platform if government enacts an “anti-censorship” rule that requires the platform to include third-party posts that the platform wants to keep off the site.
- Murthy v. Missouri, a case about standing, holding that a plaintiff does not have standing unless she can show that a favorable outcome in the suit would “redress” the harm from whatever action (usually a government action) the plaintiff is challenging.
