✅  Victories

1. Expansion of Presidential Power
Case: Trump v. Slaughter
Outcome: The Court overturned Humphrey’s Executor (a long-standing precedent).
Meaning:
The President now has broader authority to fire officials in independent agencies (like the FTC).
Seen as strengthening Article II executive power.
A related case (Trump v. Cook) ruled the opposite for the Federal Reserve, limiting presidential removal power there.
This creates a partial exception, showing the Court did not fully embrace unlimited executive control.

2. Transgender Athletes in Women’s Sports
Case: West Virginia v. BPJ
Outcome: States can restrict participation in women’s sports based on biological sex.
Impact:
Laws in 27 states are upheld.
The Court ruled such restrictions do not violate the Equal Protection Clause or federal law.

3. Campaign Finance / Free Speech
Case: NRSC v. FEC
Outcome: Political parties can spend unlimited money in coordination with candidates.
Impact:
Expands political speech rights.
Removes restrictions on party-candidate coordination.

❌ Losses

1. Birthright Citizenship

Key points:
The Court affirmed that such a major change cannot be done via executive action.
Leaves open:

Constitutional amendment
Possible congressional legislation

2. Mail-in Ballots / Election Law
Case: Watson v. RNC
Outcome: States may count ballots received after Election Day if postmarked on time.

Impact:
Election rules remain state-controlled.
Some states can allow extended ballot receipt windows.
