Overview

  • The justices begin arguments Monday with a packed docket that moves key disputes from the shadow docket to merits review.
  • On November 5, the Court will hear a pivotal challenge to President Trump’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose broad tariffs, which lower courts said the statute does not authorize.
  • In December, the justices will consider whether the president can fire FTC Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter at will, with the Court having already allowed her removal on an interim basis.
  • The Court set January arguments in Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook’s case after declining to permit her removal for now, signaling distinct treatment of the Fed’s protections.
  • The term also features a Louisiana redistricting rehearing on October 15 with major Voting Rights Act implications, a Colorado conversion‑therapy case on Tuesday, and upcoming challenges to state bans on transgender girls in school sports.
