Among the consequential decisions of the Supreme Court's current term, one was easy to overlook—the Court's refusal to hear a challenge to a landmark free press ruling, New York Times v. Sullivan (1964). On June 29, 2026, the Court issued opinions about late-arriving mail-in ballots, the scope of President Trump’s executive powers, and cellphone data privacy. But that same day, the Court also declined to hear Dershowitz v. Cable News Network, Inc., a direct challenge to Sullivan.
