Abstract: In a "mixed bag" 2023-2024 session, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a series of decisions both favorable and antithetical to public health and safety. Taking on tough constitutional issues implicating gun control, misinformation, and homelessness, the Court also avoided substantive reviews in favor of procedural dismissals in key cases involving reproductive rights and government censorship. Ultimately, SCOTUS upended major precedent (as per prior recent sessions) in rewriting administrative law, with public health impacts likely extending for decades.
