The U.S. Supreme Court, in a 7-2 decision, ruled Thursday that immigrants whose asylum claims were rejected in an expedited hearing may not contest the denials in federal court.

The Supreme Court has extended a life-support line to some 650,000 so-called "Dreamers" on Thursday, allowing them to remain safe from deportation.

At issue is whether states have the power to remove or fine so-called faithless electors. The case could affect not only the 2020 election but all future presidential elections.

The cases before the court involved subpoenas for some of Trump's pre-presidential financial records — and the arguments heard Tuesday set the stage for a constitutional battle.

How the court decides these cases could dramatically change the balance of power among the three branches of government, shifting America's system of checks and balances.

The pair of cases is the second time in less than a decade that the court has been asked to consider arguments involving discrimination lawsuits from teachers fired by parochial schools.

For decades, lower courts have recognized an exception to the nation's employment laws for ministers. But how do we define who is a minister and who is not?

From a mysterious toilet flush to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg speaking from the hospital, here are the highlights — including audio clips — from a historic week for the high court.

Bridget Anne Kelly's lawyers had argued that her actions were driven by a political motive, and while that may not be attractive, it is not fraud.
