But they found the firing of Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook unconstitutional, and declined to overturn a five million dollar E Jean Carroll sexual abuse verdict against Trump.

According to The Guardian, the court still has decisions pending on birthright citizenship and mail-in ballot deadlines.
