1. The Judiciary and Executive Power
1.1. Supreme Court Confronts Executive Power in High-Stakes Cases
The Supreme Court is poised to rule on the scope of presidential power in two critical areas: trade and foreign policy. The Court has agreed to an expedited review of President Trump’s authority to impose sweeping emergency tariffs, a case with massive financial implications [1]. Parallel to this, Chief Justice John Roberts has intervened to keep a Trump administration freeze on approximately $2 billion in foreign aid, blocking a lower court order that would have forced its release [2]. These specific cases emerge against a backdrop where the Trump administration has reportedly won over 70 percent of its emergency appeals to the Supreme Court, a trend one outlet describes as the collapse of a “Judicial Coup” [3]. Some of these victories have been characterized as defeats for “rogue judges” [4]. The Court’s trajectory is drawing public dissent from within; Justice Sonia Sotomayor has publicly voiced concern over the Court’s direction, warning an audience about “the price we pay” for overturning major precedents like Roe v. Wade [5]. In a separate immigration-related ruling favorable to the administration, she was described in one headline as having thrown “a fit” [6].
