Note-Worthy 2026 SCOTUS Wins and Losses

Written by Alyssa Sonnenburg

June is the notorious month for U.S. Supreme Court decisions.

We all remember June 24, 2022, when the horrific Roe v. Wade decision, making abortion the law of the land, was overturned and given back to the states.

This past June, a number of decisions were handed down— some very good and some very bad.

We’ll highlight a few of the significant ones:

1.) Birthright Citizenship (Loss)

On June 30th, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that all people born in the United States qualify for birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment. This decision pushed back against one of President Trump’s executive orders which sought to protect birthright citizenship from the infamous anchor babies from undocumented immigrants and temporary visa holders.

Matt Walsh of the Daily Wire rightly criticized this decision:

“The actual ‘birthright’ belongs to my children, and the children of all real Americans. They have a birthright to live in a country that resembles the one our ancestors established. And now that birthright, the only true birthright, has been destroyed in favor of the imagined “birthright” of children born to parents who don’t even belong in this country and who have no ancestral or cultural ties to it whatsoever. Total madness. Suicide. Words cannot describe how evil this is.”

A June 27, 2025, tweet from Charlie Kirk is making the rounds on X:

“Birthright Citizenship was written for freed slaves, NOT the anchor babies of illegals. Pass it on.”

2.) Women’s Sports (Win)

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled to uphold Idaho and West Virginian laws which require biological sex to be the basis of participation in women’s sports.

This decision not only aligns with biological reality, but it also sets a much needed national precedent for the safety of women and girls.

Tony Perkins commented,

“A victory for biology and women’s sports! The Supreme Court could not dodge the cultural chaos ball it created with the redefinition of marriage. Like the American people, who are connecting the dots and changing their mind on the reordering of society with the redefining of marriage, maybe the Court will eventually find its way back. This is a good first step.”

3.) Mail-in Ballots (Loss)

The court ruled that Mississippi’s law, which allows for mail in ballots to be counted after Election Day is consistent with the law.

This is, of course, a major loss given the rampant vote fraud that is happening all across the United States. Universal and mass usage of mail-in ballots has consistently proven to harm election integrity in not just national elections, but local elections as well.

Remember the famous 2026 LA mayoral race involving Spencer Pratt and Nithya Raman?

Pratt was in the lead by every measurable metric… until additional mail-in ballots were “miraculously” found.

The most shocking part of this decision was that Amy Coney Barrett, a Trump-appointed U.S. Supreme Court Justice, was the author of the majority opinion on this ruling.

To say that Conservatives are frustrated and disappointed in her is an understatement.

Fair and honest elections should never allow for the loopholes that mail-in ballots inevitably create.

While the U.S. Supreme Court offered some beneficial decisions (such as the protection of women in women’s sports), Conservatives across the country are rightly disheartened and frustrated at the losses handed down.
