Supreme Court's Pivotal Term: Unraveling Presidential Powers and Culture Wars
The U.S. Supreme Court is set to examine significant cases that test presidential powers, including Trump's tariffs and efforts to fire Federal Reserve officials. The term also involves contentious cultural issues like conversion therapy and transgender athletes, reflecting both legal importance and political impact.
The U.S. Supreme Court will address significant cases concerning presidential powers in its new term, beginning this Monday. Cases include the legality of Trump's tariffs and his attempt to fire Federal Reserve officials, challenging safeguards against political interference.
On November 5, justices will hear arguments on Trump's tariffs, following a lower court's ruling that he overstepped his authority. This case, involving challenges from 12 states and various businesses, tests the extent of executive power and its economic implications.
Additional cases include Trump's effort to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook and the firing of FTC's Rebecca Slaughter. Cultural issues also feature prominently, with debates over conversion therapy laws, transgender sports participation, and voting rights.
