Trump’s presidency faces crucial tests as Supreme Court begins pivotal term
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The Supreme Court will launch its new term Monday with a focus on controversial prior rulings and a review of President Donald Trump’s sweeping executive agenda.
After a three-month recess, the nine justices met together for the first time this week to reset their docket, and discuss appeals that have piled up over the summer. The high court will resume oral arguments to confront issues like gender identity, election redistricting, and free speech.
But looming over the federal judiciary is the return of Trump-era legal battles. The administration has been winning most of the emergency appeals at the Supreme Court since January, that dealt only with whether challenged policies could go into effect temporarily, while the issues play out in the lower courts — including immigration, federal spending cuts, workforce reductions and transgender people in the military.
In doing so, the 6-3 conservative majority has reversed about two dozen preliminary nationwide injunctions imposed by lower federal courts, leading to frustration and confusion among many judges.

Now those percolating petitions are starting to reach the Supreme Court for final review — and legal analysts say the bench may be poised to grant broad unilateral powers to the president.
The justices fast-tracked the administration’s appeal over tariffs on dozens of countries that were blocked by lower courts. Oral arguments will be held in November.
In December, the justices will decide whether to overturn a 90-year precedent dealing with the president’s ability to fire members of some federal regulatory agencies like the Federal Trade Commission.
And in January, the power of President Trump to remove Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors will be tested in a major constitutional showdown. For now, the Biden-appointed Cook will remain on the job.
«A big fraction of the Supreme Court’s docket will present the question: ‘can President Trump do?’— then fill in the blank. And that could be imposing tariffs; firing independent board members; removing illegal aliens; sending the military into cities like Los Angeles,» said Thomas Dupree, a prominent appellate attorney and constitutional law expert. «So, much of what the Supreme Court is deciding this term is whether the president has acted within or has exceeded his authority.»
The tariffs dispute will be the court’s first major constitutional test on the merits over how broadly the conservative majority high court views Trump’s muscular view of presidential power, a template for almost certain future appeals of his executive agenda.
Presidential prerogative or power push?
In earlier disputes over temporary enforcement of those policies, the court’s left-leaning justices warned against the judiciary becoming a rubber stamp, ceding its power in favor of this president.
After a late August high court order granting the government the power to temporarily terminate nearly $800 million in already-approved health research grants, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said her conservative colleagues had «ben[t] over backward to accommodate» the Trump administration. «Right when the Judiciary should be hunkering down to do all it can to preserve the law’s constraints, the Court opts instead to make vindicating the rule of law and preventing manifestly injurious Government action as difficult as possible. This is Calvinball jurisprudence with a twist. Calvinball has only one rule: There are no fixed rules. We seem to have two: that one, and this Administration always wins.»
But some of Jackson’s colleagues have denied they are paving the way for Trump’s aggressive efforts to redo the federal government.

«The framers recognized, in a way that I think is brilliant, that preserving liberty requires separating the power,» said Justice Brett Kavanaugh earlier this month at a Texas event. «No one person or group of people should have too much power in our system.»
And Justice Amy Coney Barrett told Fox News’ Bret Baier three weeks ago that she and her colleagues «don’t wear red and blue, we all wear black because judges are nonpartisan … We’re all trying to get it right. We’re not playing for a team.»
Barrett, who is promoting her new book, «Listening to the Law,» said her court takes a long-term view, and is not reflexively on Trump’s side.
«We’re not deciding cases just for today. And we’re not deciding cases based on the president, as in the current occupant of the office,» Barrett told Fox News. «I think the judiciary needs to stay in its lane … we’re taking each case and we’re looking at the question of presidential power as it comes. And the cases that we decide today are going to matter, four presidencies from now, six presidencies from now.»

These sharp court fractures between competing ideologies will likely escalate, as the justices begin a more robust look at a president’s power, and by dint, their own.
Divisive decisions
«He who saves his Country does not violate any Law,» Trump cryptically posted on social media a month after retaking office.
Federal courts have since been trying to navigate and articulate the limits of the executive branch, while managing their own powers.
Yet several federal judges — appointed by both Democratic and Republican presidents — have expressed concern that the Supreme Court has been regularly overturning rulings by lower courts dealing with challenges to Trump administration policies — mostly with little or no explanation in its decisions.
Those judges — who all requested anonymity to speak candidly — tell Fox News those orders blocking enforcement have left the impression they are not doing their jobs or are biased against the President.

Those frustrations have spilled into open court.
«They’re leaving the circuit courts, the district courts out in limbo,» said federal appeals Judge James Wynn about the high court, during oral arguments this month over the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) access to Social Security data.
«We’re out here flailing,» said Wynn, an Obama bench appointee. «I’m not criticizing the justices. They’re using a vehicle that’s there, but they are telling us nothing. They could easily just give us direction, and we would follow it.»
Courting controversy
The president may be winning short-term victories in a court where he has appointed a third of its members, but that has not stopped him or his associates from criticizing federal judges, even calling for their removal from office when preliminary rulings have gone against the administration.
«This judge, like many of the Crooked Judges I am forced to appear before, should be IMPEACHED!!!» Trump posted on social media, after a March court ruling temporarily halting the deportation of alleged Venezuelan gang members.
The target of the attack was DC-based Chief Judge James Boasberg, appointed to the bench by President Obama.
Top Trump White House policy advisor Stephen Miller, in interviews, has warned against some unaccountable and «communist crazy judges» «trying to subvert the presidency.»

According to an analysis by Stanford University’s Adam Bonica, federal district judges ruled against the administration 94.3% of the time between May and June.
But the Supreme Court has in turn reversed those injunctions more than 90% of the time, giving the president temporary authority to move ahead with his sweeping reform agenda.
As for the rhetoric, the high court has walked a delicate path, reluctant to criticize Trump directly, at least for now.
«The fact that some of our public leaders are lawyers advocating or making statements challenging the rule of law tells me that, fundamentally, our law schools are failing,» said Justice Sonia Sotomayor at a recent Georgetown University Law Center event, without naming Trump by name. «Once we lose our common norms, we’ve lost the rule of law completely.»
Chief Justice John Roberts in March offered a rare public statement criticizing impeachment calls from the right.
But several federal judges who spoke to Fox News also wish Roberts would do more to assert his authority and to temper what one judge called «disturbing» rhetoric.
The U.S. Marshals Service — responsible for court security — reports more than 500 threats against federal judges since last October, more than in previous years. Law enforcement sources say that includes Boasberg, who, along with his family, has received physical threats and intimidating social media posts.

«I think it is a sign of a culture that has, where political discourse has soured beyond control,» said Justice Barrett in recent days.
«The attacks are not random. They seem designed to intimidate those of us who serve in this critical capacity,» said Justice Jackson in May. «The threats and harassment are attacks on our democracy, on our system of government.»
The administration in recent days asked Congress for $58 million more in security for executive branch officials and judges, following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the conservative activist who led Turning Point USA.
Testy term awaits
A Fox News poll from this summer found 47% of voters approve of the job the Supreme Court is doing, a 9-point jump since last year when a record low 38% approved.
«Over the past decade, public confidence in our major institutions has declined,» says Republican pollster Daron Shaw, who helps conduct the Fox News survey with Democrat Chris Anderson. «The Court’s rebound could reflect its attempts to steer a middle course on politically polarizing questions or indicate an uptick in positive attitudes toward our more venerable institutions.»
Still, by more than 2-to-1, more voters think the court is too conservative (43%) than too liberal in its decisions (18%, a low), while 36% think the court’s rulings are about right. That continues a seven-year trend.

The public’s views of the court’s ability to steer clear of politics will be tested this term.
Besides the two Trump-related appeals, the justices are already scheduled to decide:
- At least two appeals involving LGBTQ+ rights: which public school sports teams transgender students can join; and state laws banning so-called «conversion therapy» for minors who may have gender identity or sexual orientation issues.
- Two election-related disputes involving partisan gerrymandering and federal campaign spending coordination that each could have major impacts on the 2026 midterms and beyond.
Precedent on a precipice
But court watchers are pointing to several hot-button pending appeals where «stare decisis» or respect for established landmark court rulings will be tested: same-sex marriage and communal school prayer.
The high court is expected to decide in coming weeks whether to put those petitions on its argument calendar, with possible rulings on the merits by June 2026.
But other cases are already awaiting a final ruling: the use of race in redistricting under the Voting Rights Act; and independent government boards.
«I think the likeliest candidates for being revisited are the ones that involve the power of the president to fire the heads of federal agencies,» said attorney Dupree. «This is an old precedent that’s been on the books really back since the New Deal, and it’s come into question in recent years. There’s been a long shadow hanging over these decisions, and I think the Supreme Court is poised to revisit those this term and in all likelihood overrule that.»
The court may have already set the stage, by using the emergency docket in recent weeks to allow Trump to temporarily fire members of several other independent federal agencies without cause. The court’s liberal wing complained that giving the president that power without explanation effectively unravels the 1935 precedent known as «Humphrey’s Executor.»
KAVANAUGH CITES 3 PRESIDENTS IN EXPLAINING SUPREME COURT’S BALLOONING EMERGENCY DOCKET
«Today’s order favors the president over our precedent,» said Justice Elena Kagan in a blistering dissent against Trump’s removal of Gwynne Wilcox from the National Labor Relations Board.
The court’s «impatience to get on with things — to now hand the President the most unitary, meaning also the most subservient, administration since Herbert Hoover (and maybe ever) — must reveal how that eventual decision will go» on the merits, added Kagan.
Sotomayor said recent overturned precedents were «really bad» for certain groups of people.
«And that’s what’s at risk, is in each time we change precedent, we are changing the contours of a right that people thought they had,» she said this month. «Once you take that away, think of how much more is at risk later. Not just in this situation.»
The conservative justices in recent years have not been shy about revisiting cases that had been settled for decades but now have been overturned: the nationwide right to abortion, affirmative action in education and the discretionary power of federal agencies.

Other pending issues the justices may soon be forced to confront which could upset longstanding precedent include libel lawsuits from public officials, flag burning and Ten Commandments displays in public schools.
One justice who has been more willing than his benchmates to overrule precedents may be its most influential: Justice Clarence Thomas.
«I don’t think that any of these cases that have been decided are the gospel,» Thomas said last week at a Catholic University event. If it is «totally stupid, and that’s what they’ve decided, you don’t go along with it just because it’s decided» already.

Tensión con Estados Unidos: al ritmo del reguetón, Nicolás Maduro convoca una marcha de milicianos para desmentir que sea un narcotraficante
Las calles de Caracas estarán parcialmente bloqueadas esta semana hasta el jueves por la marcha que ha convocado el régimen chavista para defender a Nicolás Maduro de las acusaciones de que lidera organizaciones de narcotraficantes y criminales, mientras escala la tensión por las amenazas de que la Embajada de Estados Unidos en Caracas sufriría atentados terroristas.
La insólita marcha de cuatro días ha sorprendido a propios y extraños por la instalación de una tarima oficialista frente a la sede de las Naciones Unidas, interrumpiendo el tránsito en la capital venezolana por el corte de la Avenida Francisco de Miranda, que es la principal arteria vial que enlaza la ciudad del este al oeste.
Más que un acto político, la marcha parece un festival musical en el que bandas pocos conocidas prodigan y hacen propaganda a favor de Maduro al ritmo de reguetón mientras los milicianos bailan con fusil en mano y se hacen fotografiar para su álbum familiar.
El tema de la convocatoria es para protestar la presencia de la flota aeronaval de Estados Unidos desplegada en el Caribe frente a las costas de Venezuela y desmentir que Maduro lidere el Cártel de los Soles y el Tren de Aragua, según acusaciones del presidente Donal Trump y el secretario de Estado Marco Rubio.
Los pocos que acudieron al primer día de la marcha dijeron que “estaban contra el imperialismo. Nuestro presidente Maduro no es narco. Queremos que Estados Unidos quite los barcos en el Caribe”, dijo una mujer de unos 60 años, que lucía orgullosa un uniforme militar.
«Queremos decirle al señor Trump que saque sus barcos, su poco de baterías que tiene aquí, porque este no es un país narcotraficante, es un país que combate al narcotráfico», dijo un trabajador aeroportuario de 62 años.
Otra caraqueña de unos 30 años, exclamó a Clarín: “Esto es una locura, los chavistas están quemando los últimos cartuchos o días que le quedan con esta marchita. Se sienten perdidos. Ya falta poco. Los que acuden al llamado son todos empleados de los ministerios”.
En las barreras policiales un agente agregó: “Qué le voy a decir, no hay gente, esta marcha está vacía, siempre lo mismo, tenemos que trabajar sea el gobierno de izquierda o de derecha”, dijo el uniformado con cara de aburrimiento.
En la solitaria tarima con funcionarios vestidos de negro sonaba un reguetón elogiando a Maduro. En algunas pancartas se leía: “No somos narcoestado, somos bolivarianos”, mientras las ancianas empuñaban unos fusiles viejos sin balas.
“Aprendí a disparar al enemigo interno”, repetía otra mujer mientras bailaba al compás de la banda musical y se tomaba las fotos para su álbum familiar.
El bloqueo de las calles de Caracas durará hasta el jueves para reclutar a civiles que quieran defender a Maduro.
La embajada de EE.UU.
Este lunes el régimen de Maduro también alertó que la Embajada de Estados Unidos en Caracas sería atacada con explosivos por un supuesto “grupo terrorista local” de derecha, lo que aumentó la escalada de tensión.
El que dio el pitazo del supuesto atentado en la sede diplomática de EE.UU. fue Jorge Rodríguez, presidente de la chavista Asamblea Nacional en un comunicado que publicó en su cuenta de X, alertando sobre la amenaza de “extremistas” para colocar “explosivos” en su Embajada en Caracas.
En su programa televisivo, Maduro dijo que un «grupo terrorista local» planeaba colocar una carga explosiva para una «operación de falsa bandera» que buscaba «comenzar una escalada de enfrentamiento».
«Hubo dos fuentes, una fuente de carácter nacional y una fuente de carácter internacional, que se le hizo seguimiento y coincidió con la posibilidad de que un grupo terrorista local colocara una carga explosiva en la embajada de Estados Unidos en Caracas», afirmó. «Era una acción de provocación», aseguró.
Maduro dijo que Rodríguez informó la tarde del lunes «oficialmente al gobierno de Estados Unidos» sobre «los responsables de la preparación de este ataque terrorista» y señaló que buscan a algunos de los responsables en Venezuela.
Esta amenaza se produce después que el gobierno de Donald Trump amenazara con explotar los centros del narcotráfico en Venezuela y fuera autorizado por el Congreso de Washington.
La Embajada de EE.UU. en Caracas, una fortaleza construida en Valle Arriba al sureste de la ciudad, está fuertemente custodiada por vehículos oficiales de inteligencia militar, policial y seguridad. Las relaciones diplomáticas entre ambos países están rotas desde enero de 2019 porque el gobierno de EE.UU. reconoció a Juan Guaidó como presidente interino de Venezuela.
Desde hace dos semanas circula un fuerte rumor de que María Corina Machado, que hoy cumple 58 años, se encuentra refugiada allí. Es el propio ministro de Interior y Justicia, Diosdado Cabello, quien ha insinuado que Machado se refugia en esa sede diplomática. «Ella está en Valle Arriba, en una casa grandota, que dicen que no hay nadie, pero sí hay (…) pero no le vayan a decir a nadie porque es secreto«, ironizó Cabello el pasado 17 de septiembre.

A South Korean climber has died in Nepal after getting caught in a powerful storm while attempting to summit a Himalayan peak just south of Mount Everest. Meanwhile, hundreds of hikers have begun evacuating after severe weather left them stranded across the region.
The Nepal Mountaineering Association confirmed the South Korean climber’s death Tuesday. He had been reported missing over the weekend near the summit of Mera Peak, a 21,250-foot mountain in the northern Himalayas. Other climbers on the mountain have been reported safe.
The tragedy unfolded as heavy snow and rain stranded hundreds of hikers near Everest. One hiker, identified only by the surname Dong, told China’s Xiaoxiang Morning Herald he had never seen such a severe storm, describing intense snowfall and lightning.
By late Monday, 350 people had descended safely, while more than 200 others were being guided to a designated meeting point, according to Chinese state broadcaster CCTV.

An expected sixth vote to reopen the government didn’t come to fruition on Tuesday, but lawmakers face a new wrinkle: the possibility that furloughed employees won’t be paid.
The government shutdown marched into its seventh day with both Senate Republicans and Democrats still at odds on a path forward, and no real clear end in sight. The Senate was expected to vote on the GOP’s plan again, but no agreement could be reached to bring the bill, along with the Democrats’ counter-proposal, to the floor.
Both sides are still entrenched in their positions, too. Senate Democrats want a firm deal on the extension of expiring ObamaCare tax credits to earn their votes to reopen the government, while Senate Republicans have promised that negotiations on the credits can happen once the government is open again.

Lawmakers failed to hold a sixth vote to reopen the government Tuesday as a new White House memo warned that furloughed workers may not get paid.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has continued to ramp up his messaging that Americans broadly support their push, and blamed House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and House Republicans for not being in session as a major roadblock to progress.
«Hundreds of thousands of federal workers are furloughed and thousands more are working without pay. And meanwhile, House Republicans are getting paid and not working,» Schumer said. «So federal workers working and not getting paid. House Republicans paid and not working. Very bad. Very bad thing for them. Very bad picture for them.»
While lawmakers traded barbs and discussed an off-ramp on Capitol Hill, the latest memo from the White House, first reported by Axios, signaled that up to 750,000 nonessential furloughed federal workers may not be paid.
The memo adds fresh uncertainty for hundreds of thousands of federal employees caught in the political crossfire.

When asked if it was the White House’s position whether federal workers should be paid back pay, President Donald Trump said, «I would say it depends on who we’re talking about.»
«I can tell you this,» Trump said. «The Democrats have put a lot of people in great risk and jeopardy, but it really depends on who you’re talking about. But for the most part, we’re going to take care of our people. There are some people that really don’t deserve to be taken care of, and we’ll take care of them in a different way.»
Many lawmakers had just learned about the memo as of Tuesday afternoon. It suggested that a 2019 law signed by Trump that guaranteed back pay for furloughed workers in future shutdowns may not have to be followed.
«I just heard that,» Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.V., said. «My phones are lighting up.»
When asked if the memo hurt or helped talks, she said, «It could get more urgent, it also could tick a lot of people off.»
Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., said that the memo was «probably not a good message to send right now to people who are not being paid.»
«I’m not an attorney, but I think it’s bad strategy to even say that sort of stuff,» Tillis said. «We got a lot of hard-working people there on the sidelines now because the Democrats have put them there.»
Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said that she believed that issue had been settled with the 2019 law, but as a «back up,» Congress could pass a bill that any «obligations that were incurred during the shutdown are authorized to be paid.»
And Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, argued that regardless of the memo, the law said «shall.»
«I left my law degree in the car, but ‘shall’ is relatively straightforward,» he said. «I think it doesn’t matter at all, because we’re fighting for healthcare.»
The latest pressure tactic on Senate Democrats comes after the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) directed in a previous memo that mass firings could be on the horizon beyond the typical furloughs during a shutdown.

It also comes after OMB Director Russ Vought announced nearly $30 billion in federal funding was set to be withheld from blue cities and states.
Both Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., wanted to see federal workers get paid, but contended that the issue would go away if Schumer and Senate Democrats reopened the government.
«My assumption is that furloughed workers will get back pay,» Thune said. «But that being said, this is very simple. Open up the government and this is a non-issue. We don’t have to have this conversation. Everybody gets paid when the government is open.»

Meanwhile, the previous tactics did little to nudge Democrats from their position, and so far, have not killed talks between either side.
But Sen. Jean Shaheen, D-N.H., who has been a key communicator for Senate Democrats in bipartisan talks, said that Vought’s actions weren’t helping matters.
«It would be a lot easier to resolve the situation if Russ Vought would stop talking,» Shaheen said.
