Supreme Court begins a new term today

NPR - The cases being reviewed are largely focused on the extent of power granted to the president by the Constitution. Other issues on the court’s docket include: a case that could end what's left of the landmark Voting Rights Act and a challenge to the Trump tariffs.

🎧 In the eight months since Trump took office again, the high court has broken all records for granting the president’s wishes on its emergency docket, says NPR’s Nina Totenberg. As of the end of last week, the court had approved 20 requests from the president to block lower court orders that opposed the administration. In contrast, the court ruled against the administration in these emergency cases three times. These rulings are temporary because the court didn’t hear arguments in the cases. Now, some of the cases are back at the court with full briefing and arguments expected.
