CRS Reports – Week of 7-1-23 – Supreme Court Rulings

In a holiday shortened week there is little of specific interest here in this week’s reports from the Congressional Research Service, but there are six reports looking at recently released Supreme Court rulings. Those reports include:

LSB10997 - Supreme Court Invalidates Student Loan Cancellation Policy Under the HEROES Act,

LSB10998 - Polselli v. IRS: Supreme Court Clarifies Notice Requirements for a Third-Party IRS Summons,

LSB10999 - Groff v. DeJoy: Supreme Court Clarifies Employment Protections for Religious Workers,

LSB11000 - 303 Creative v. Elenis: Supreme Court Recognizes Free Speech Exception to Nondiscrimination Law,

LSB11001 - “Reserved” but Not “Secured”: Supreme Court Sinks Navajo Nation’s Attempt to Compel Federal Action on Tribal Water Rights, and

LSB11002 - Allen v. Milligan: Supreme Court Holds That Alabama Redistricting Map Likely Violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act,

These are annotated discussions of the issues presented in these cases. It is important to remember that these reports (and all CRS reports) are targeted at a legislative audience (Member and their staffs), so entire discussion is designed to lead up to the ‘Considerations for Congress’ section at the end of each report. Having said that, these are still more comprehensive reviews than almost any that you are going to see in the press, including the legal press.
