October Term 2025
National Republican Senatorial Committee v. Federal Election Comm’n
No. FECA’s limits on political parties’ coordinated expenditures violate the First Amendment. To the extent Federal Election Commission v. Colorado Republican Federal Campaign Committee, or Colorado II, retained any vitality, the Court overruled it.
West Virginia v. B. P. J.
Yes. Title IX permits schools to maintain separate women’s and men’s sports teams defined by biological sex. West Virginia’s limitation of female teams to biological females is consistent with Title IX. West Virginia and Idaho also did not violate the Equal Protection Clause by limiting women’s and girls’ teams to biological females.
Barrett v. United States
No. Congress did not clearly authorize two convictions under §924(c)(1)(A)(i) and §924(j) for the same act, so only one conviction may stand.
