The United States Supreme Court is the highest federal court in the country, and its decisions have far-reaching implications for law and policy. In 2021, the court handed down several major decisions that touched on a range of issues from voting rights to immigration.

One of the most significant decisions of 2021 was Bernard v. DNC, which concerned voting rights and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The court ruled that Arizona's voting restrictions, including limits on who can return mail-in ballots, did not violate the Act.

Another important case was California v. Texas, which was a challenge to the Affordable Care Act. The court upheld the law, ruling that the challengers did not have standing to bring the case.

Other notable decisions included Fulton v. City of Philadelphia, which involved the religious rights of foster care agencies, and Cedar Point Nursery v. Hassid, which concerned union access to private property.
