Chemerinsky: What can we expect from SCOTUS in 2025?
Briefly

As President-elect Donald Trump prepares to take office, his ambitious campaign promises are likely to ignite a wave of legal challenges regarding immigration and federal spending policies. These contentious proposals, particularly regarding mass deportations and governmental budget cuts, face considerable scrutiny under existing laws and regulations. Legal experts anticipate numerous lawsuits, especially from states led by Democratic attorneys general, as they were during Trump’s last term. The outcome of these challenges may significantly influence the future of Trump's policies.
The ongoing discussions about impounding federal funds, led by figures such as Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, highlight the contentious issue of separation of powers. Their assertion that the U.S. Supreme Court will eventually declare the Impoundment Control Act unconstitutional could dramatically reshape the federal government's spending authority. However, legal experts warn that such sweeping changes could face substantial challenges in courts, reflecting the complex intersection of executive power and legislative authority in U.S. governance.
