Supreme Court term tests scope of Trump administration's executive powers
The Supreme Court’s new term will test the scope of President Trump’s executive powers with fast‑tracked tariff oral arguments in November, a challenge that could overturn a roughly 90‑year precedent on agency removals expected in December, and a separate dispute over Lisa Cook’s removal set for argument in January. White House Associate Counsel Graziella Pastor warned of “catastrophic” economic consequences if the administration loses the tariff case, and appellate attorney Thomas Dupree said much of the term asks, “can President Trump do?”
