"SCOTUS to rule on Trump's executive power Legal challenges over Trump's tariffs, his attempts to fire an FTC commissioner and his firing of a Fed governor are among the most closely watch cases this term. The high court last month permitted Trump's removal of Rebecca Slaughter from her role as Federal Trade Commission commissioner as it weighs executive authority over independent agencies. Yes, but: It allowed Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook to stay put - for now."
"Catch up quick: Trump has framed challenges to his tariffs as existential, saying a loss would "literally destroy the United States of America." A federal appellate court struck down the levies imposed by Trump under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act as an overreach of power in August. The U.S. Court of International Trade also ruled that Trump overstepped his authority. The Supreme Court agreed to fast-track the test of his sweeping tariffs, with arguments scheduled for early November."
The Supreme Court will resolve multiple high-stakes legal disputes tied to former President Trump’s agenda. The court permitted the removal of Rebecca Slaughter from the Federal Trade Commission while allowing Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook to remain in place for now. Federal appellate and U.S. Court of International Trade rulings found Trump’s tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to be overreach, and the Supreme Court fast-tracked arguments on those tariffs for early November. Additional cases include a challenge to limits on coordination between campaigns and parties brought by then-Congressman JD Vance, potential attacks on the Voting Rights Act, possible birthright citizenship litigation, and cases involving transgender athletes and conversion therapy.
