Two decisions split 6-3 along identical lines — the same conservative majority, the same liberal dissent — in Chatrie (Fourth Amendment) and Slaughter (FTC removal). A third split 5-4 in Cook , with Roberts crossing coalitions to block the President's removal of a Federal Reserve governor. A fourth, Watson , drew Barrett alongside Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson to protect state absentee-ballot rules. Chief Justice Roberts authored two majorities — opposite outcomes in two \"Trump v.\" cases on the same day. Justice Alito dissented three times, authoring a majority only in Slaughter . Justice Gorsuch filed concurrences in two cases — challenging Katz in Chatrie , warning of executive power consolidation in Slaughter . The liberal bloc — Sotomayor, Kagan, Jackson — voted together in all four. The Court plans to release opinions tomorrow, June 30th — likely the final batch of the October 2025 Term.","meta_description":"OVERVIEW Four opinions released June 29th, 2026 — one day, across digital privacy, presidential removal power at two federal agencies, and absentee ballot…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1126,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-high-court-report-7304353/episodes/new-opinions-june-29th-phones-the-fed-the-ftc-and-the-ballot-box/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-high-court-report-7304353/new-opinions-june-29th-phones-the-fed-the-ftc-and-the-ballot-box.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
