Overview
- The justices still must resolve roughly 20 major cases before the term closes, including disputes over whether the president may remove independent‑agency officials without cause in Trump v. Slaughter and Trump v. Cook.
- A ruling in NRSC v. FEC could loosen limits on coordinated party spending and alter federal campaign finance law in a way some scholars compare to Citizens United.
- Watson v. Republican National Committee asks whether states may count mail‑in ballots received after Election Day under a multi‑day “grace period,” a decision that could create a national standard for ballot receipt deadlines ahead of the midterms.
- The court will decide consolidated Title IX cases that test whether state bans on transgender girls in girls’ school sports violate federal law, a ruling that would affect participation policies in schools across the country.
- Multiple immigration cases include a challenge to President Trump’s order on birthright citizenship, review of the termination of Temporary Protected Status for hundreds of thousands of Haitian and Syrian nationals, and a dispute over the government’s practice of turning away asylum seekers at ports of entry.
