Justice Kavanaugh filed an opinion concurring in the judgment and dissenting in part. Justice Thomas wrote a dissenting opinion, joined by Justice Gorsuch. Justices Gorsuch and Alito also wrote dissenting opinions.

The next opinion is in NRSC v. FEC, on campaign finance. The court holds that the Federal Election Campaign Act's political-party coordinated-expenditure limits violate the First Amendment.

The vote count is difficult to summarize. Sotomayor wrote an opinion concurring in the judgment in part and dissenting in part, Kagan and Jackson. Jackson also wrote an opinion concurring in the judgment in part and dissenting in part.

[SCOTUSblog @SCOTUSblog]

The first opinions are in the transgender athlete cases. In B.P.J., the court holds Title IX allows schools to provide separate women’s and men’s teams defined by biological sex, and WV has permissibly maintained female sports for biological females.

The court also holds that West Virginia and Idaho did not violate the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment by maintaining female sports teams for biological females. Justice Kavanaugh wrote the majority opinion.
