WASHINGTON − President Donald Trump celebrated what he called an “ amazing decision ,” thanking each of the conservative Supreme Court justices after the court wrapped up its term on June 30. Conservative religious parents also cheered a major court ruling in their favor as the court continued its trend of siding with religious groups. But advocates for migrants, LGBTQ+ rights activists and others were left shaking their heads and vowing to find other ways to keep fighting on issues that went against them. And an appeals court that is proving to be more conservative than the Supreme Court racked up more losses. Here is a list of winners and losers from the court’s term that began in October.
