The Supreme Court's final rulings will leave it positioned as a lightning rod despite other outcomes in which the justices found common ground.

Those and other outcomes reflected a term that − until its final week − frequently had Chief Justice John Roberts, a George W. Bush nominee, aligning with the court's three liberals and Justice Brett Kavanaugh, a Donald Trump pick.

The lineup was perhaps most pronounced in the court's voting cases. Last week, a 6-3 majority brushed asidethat state legislatures have virtually unchecked power to set election rules. Earlier this month, in a decision that may help Democrats in the 2024 congressional elections, a 5-4 majority ruled that state lawmakers can't turn a blind eye to the racial makeup of their congressional districts.

"This MAGA-captured Supreme Court feels free to accept lavish gifts and vacations from their powerful, big-monied friends, all while they refuse to help everyday Americans," Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. said."The American people know that the Biden administration’s student loan socialism plan would be a raw deal for hardworking taxpayers," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., posted on Twitter after that ruling.
