The U.S. Supreme Court could issue at least one ruling today as several major cases remain pending including litigation testing the legality of President Trump's sweeping global tariffs.
During arguments heard by the court on November 5, conservative and liberal justices appeared to cast doubt on the legality of the tariffs, which Trump imposed by invoking a 1977 law meant for use during national emergencies. Trump's administration is appealing rulings by a lower court that he overstepped his authority.
Other important cases are also awaiting rulings at the court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, including a challenge to a key section of the Voting Rights Act, the landmark 1965 federal law enacted by Congress to prevent racial discrimination in voting. Another involves a challenge on free speech grounds to a Colorado law banning psychotherapists from conducting "conversion therapy" that aims to change an LGBTQ+ minor's sexual orientation or gender identity. Andrew Chung has more here.
And here’s a look at the major cases before the court this term.
