They upheld Tennessee's ban on transgender healthcare for minors (6-3) and federal ghost gun regulations (7-2), while deadlocking 4-4 on religious charter schools, revealing selective application of "states' rights" and "federal authority" principles.

Why This Matters
Government authority depends on the issue, not consistent principles:
The Court supports state power to ban transgender healthcare but federal power to track firearms, suggesting decisions may be based on policy preferences rather than consistent legal philosophy about government authority
Where you live determines your rights:
With the Tennessee transgender healthcare decision, families with transgender children now face moving to different states or going without medical care their doctors recommend, making ZIP code determine healthcare access
Gun regulation focuses on tracking rather than prohibition:
The 7-2 ghost gun decision shows even this conservative Court will uphold firearms regulations that require accountability through serial numbers and background checks, as long as they don't ban weapons entirely
Some conservative justices show limits on religious issues:
The 4-4 deadlock on religious charter schools means at least one conservative justice joined the liberals to block taxpayer funding for religious education, suggesting concern about completely eliminating church-state separation
Court decisions become daily life rules:
These aren't abstract legal theories—they determine what medical care is available in your community, what requirements exist when you buy a firearm, and whether your tax dollars fund religious schools
Legal philosophy may align with political outcomes:
The pattern across these decisions suggests that conservative "originalism" and "textualism" consistently reach conclusions that align with Republican political positions, raising questions about the relationship between legal theory and partisan results
