Overview

• Oral arguments are set for October 15 in Case v. Montana, which will clarify whether the Fourth Amendment’s emergency-aid exception permits home entry on less than probable cause.
• The Court will hear Learning Resources v. Trump on November 5 to determine if the president lawfully used IEEPA to impose sweeping tariffs and whether collected revenues must be refunded.
• In December, the justices plan to hear Trump v. Slaughter on whether the president may remove leaders of independent agencies at will, potentially revisiting the 1935 Humphrey’s Executor precedent.
• On the emergency docket, the Court kept Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook in office pending review and scheduled Trump v. Cook for January 26 to decide presidential removal power over Fed governors.
• Fast-tracked disputes include the administration’s bid to reinstate its passport sex-designation policy (Trump v. Orr) and a petition to review its birthright-citizenship order, as federal–state litigation over National Guard deployments proceeds with mixed district court rulings in Oregon and Chicago.
