Each June, the Supreme Court reserves its most consequential rulings for last — decisions that do not merely settle disputes but reorder the legal landscape for years to come. This term, as the justices departed for summer recess, law professor Kim Wehle joined NPR to help the public understand not just what was decided, but what those decisions set in motion. The Court's final opinions are rarely endings; they are, more precisely, the opening of new contests in legislatures, lower courts, and the daily lives of citizens who will feel the effects long before they understand the cause.
