Supreme Court opens term with high‑stakes cases
The U.S. Supreme Court convenes for a new term with high‑profile cases on social issues — including a challenge to Colorado's ban on conversion therapy for minors (arguments Oct. 7), disputes over race in redistricting and transgender athletes' participation — and with several major legal questions tied to President Trump’s agenda slated for review (a reciprocal‑tariff legality matter set for Nov. 5 and an independent‑agency removal case). The docket also includes a potential future review of Trump’s birthright‑citizenship executive order, framing a term that will test executive authority and constitutional questions.
