This study on the United States Supreme Court will feature five opinions handed down by the Court relating to abortion, Second Amendment rights, two cases relating to religious liberty, and the confluence of “climate change” and administrative law that the Court decided before it adjourned for its 2022 summer recess. The paper will explain what the Supreme Court decided and then include critical passages from the holdings of the actual opinions handed down by the Court by quoting from the Supreme Court syllabus or summary, as well as pertinent portions of any majority or dissenting opinions.
