I'm Samantha Sharis, I'm Virginia Allen, and this is the Daily Signal Top News for Tuesday, June 27th.

Here are today's headlines.

The Supreme Court has released another round of decisions today, including for the more versus Harper case.

The Daily Caller News Foundation reports that the Supreme Court held that the Constitution's elections clause does not vest exclusive and independent authority in state legislatures to set the rules regarding federal elections,

and that the case stems from the North Carolina Supreme Court's decision in February 2022 to toss a congressional map drawn by the Republican-led legislature

after the 2020 census as an egregious and intentional partisan gerrymander.

DCNF also reports that in this case, the Supreme Court determined it need not to side whether the North Carolina Supreme Court straight beyond the limits derived from the elections clause, affirming the judgment of the State Supreme Court.

Chief Justice John Roberts, who wrote the opinion, said,

State courts retain the authority to apply state constitutional restraints when legislatures act under the power conferred upon them by the elections clause.

Legal analyst Jonathan Turley tweeted about the case saying in part,

with Harper, it is worth noting that once again, the court defied the stereotypes of political and media critics,

who have been insisting that the conservatives were moving to protect raw gerrymandering.

He also writes,

this follows a ruling in favor of the Biden administration on immigration, as well as continued unanimous or near unanimous decisions in various areas.

We are still awaiting some other major decisions from the court this week, including those relating to affirmative action, student loan forgiveness and free speech.

Stay tuned.
