Still winning. W20-L3. At the Supreme Court.
According to NPR.
By the end of last week, the court had granted 20 of Trump’s requests to block lower court orders opposed by the administration. In contrast, the court ruled against the administration in these emergency cases just three times.
After months of emergency orders delaying final decisions, the Supreme Court is back in session and will hear arguments involving some of President Donald Trump’s most controversial executive orders.
In one case, the Justices will consider whether Trump’s tariffs are constitutional, debating whether it’s within his power to use the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose import taxes. A decision will likely impact massive amounts of money involved in trade, according to experts.
In other cases, the Supreme Court will determine the limit of the president’s power to fire members of the Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Reserve.
“Whether the FTC will hold up, and the betting odds are that it will not, then the question becomes what other agencies will go down with it?” Alan Morrison, a George Washington University Law professor, said.
The Trump administration is asking the court to allow the president to remove transgender markers from passports as well, and it’s likely his effort to end birthright citizenship will come before the court again this term.
Other than the cases involving the president, the court is also taking up other notable issues this term. One of those will be seen Tuesday, as the court considers whether a Colorado law against conversion therapy for LGBTQ+ people is constitutional. A number of states have similar laws.
The Supreme Court will also take up cases from West Virginia and Idaho banning transgender athletes in school sports.
There are high-profile election cases, too, like whether Louisiana’s congressional map is drawn to prevent minorities from being represented and a petition to loosen rules on how candidates and political action committees, or PACs, can spend campaign money.
