The Obama administration saw big wins and some major losses in the Supreme Court term that concluded Monday. Here is a tally:
WINS
Town of Greece v. Galloway. Public Prayer
Upheld the practice of public prayer before local-government meetings, rejecting arguments that overwhelmingly Christian invocations violate the constitutional bar on the establishment of an official religion. The administration filed a friend-of-the-court brief supporting invocations before public meetings.
Environmental Protection Agency v. EME Homer City Generation. Pollution Regulations
Decided the EPA can reinstate limits on power-plant pollution that blows across state lines, handing a defeat to electric utilities that opposed the effort as costly regulatory overreach.
American Broadcasting Companies v. Aereo. Broadcaster Copyrights
Ruled Aereo Inc.'s online video system violated broadcaster copyrights on programming, dealing the startup a crippling blow. The administration filed a brief in favor of broadcasting companies that had challenged Aereo.
Susan B. Anthony List v. Driehaus. Political Speech
Found that two conservative groups can continue their challenge to an Ohio campaign law making it illegal to lie about political candidates. The administration filed a brief supporting the First Amendment challenge against Ohio's law.
Lane v. Franks. Employee Rights
Held that public employees can't be fired for testifying about corruption they witness in government, reversing a lower court that held otherwise. The administration filed a court brief supporting free-speech protections for employee testimony.
LOSSES
Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores Inc. Contraceptive coverage.
Ruled that "closely held" companies can invoke religious objections to avoid covering contraception in workers' health plans, carving out another piece of the Affordable Care Act.
Harris v. Quinn. Union Dues
Found that home-based care workers in Illinois aren't full-fledged public employees and can't be forced to pay dues to a union they don't want to join. The administration had argued in a brief the workers were state employees.
McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission. Political Contributions
Struck down aggregate caps on political contributions, the latest in a string of decisions rolling back campaign-finance regulations.
Utility Air Regulatory Group v. Environmental Protection Agency. Pollution Regulations
Found the Obama administration overreached in claiming power to regulate smaller emitters of greenhouse gases in a ruling that said the EPA can require greenhouse-gas controls on power plants and other large stationary sources of pollution.
National Labor Relations Board v. Noel Canning. Presidential Powers
Ruled President Barack Obama exceeded his authority in making temporary appointments to the National Labor Relations Board during a brief Senate break in 2012.
McCullen v. Coakley. Abortion Protests
Invalidated a Massachusetts law that required 35-foot buffer zones around abortion clinics, ruling the statute went too far in burdening the free-speech rights of antiabortion activists. The administration filed briefs backing the buffer zones.
U.S. v. Wurie. Police Search of Cellphones
Held that police must obtain a warrant to search the information on a suspect's cellphone, broadly protecting privacy rights in the digital age. The Justice Department had sought broad flexibility for law enforcement to search devices without a warrant.
