"...Legal challenges have slowed Trump's momentum on a number of fronts...."

"...The latest brewing legal battle comes from the president's attempts to take control of state National Guard units and deploy them in cities where he claims there is public unrest and rampant crime - over the objection of local and state officials...."

"...Such reviews have become a more routine occurrence recently, as a majority of the Supreme Court justices, in response to emergency petitions from the Trump administration, has largely allowed the president's actions to move forward while legal challenges play out...."

"...The court's reliance on this shadow docket has been criticised by left-leaning legal scholars and politicians as an improper use of the court's authority...."

"...Its orders have typically been short, offering limited legal reasoning and leaving lower-level judges with minimal guidance...."

"...In the coming months, however, the court is set tackle questions of presidential power – and other high-profile controversies - head on, hearing oral arguments and issuing full decisions on their merits...."

"...The court is already scheduled to consider whether federal laws that prohibits the president from removing members of agencies designed by Congress to be independent from presidential influence infringe on executive authority...."

"...The justices will also hear arguments in an expedited review of Trump's attempt to fire Lisa Cook from her position as a governor on the influential Federal Reserve Board – a case that could dramatically increase the president's power over American economic policy...."

"...The US – and global economy – is also front and centre as Supreme Court justices will have a chance to decide whether many of Trump's unilaterally imposed tariffs on foreign imports have adequate legal authority or should be voided...."

"...The justices may also review Trump's attempts to unilaterally cut federal spending and fire lower-level government employees, as well as his aggressive immigration and deportation policies...."

"...While the court has not yet agreed to consider Trump's attempt to terminate automatic citizenship for those born on US soil, it could do so in the coming months...."

"...The cases coming before the court will test the Trump administration's highest political and economic priorities, whether tariffs or birthright citizenship...."

"...One question will be whether the justices will apply principles (eg the major questions doctrine) that it used to strike down signature Biden initiatives in a politically even-handed way...."

"...The court used its newly fashioned "major questions doctrine" to stymie Biden's efforts at student loan forgiveness and environmental regulations, holding that Congress did not give him explicit authorisation to do so...."

"...Presidential power is the central focus of this year's Supreme Court term but cases involving several hot-button political and cultural controversies are also scheduled in the coming months...."

"...The court will review whether a Colorado ban on conversion therapy – a controversial practice that attempts to use counseling to change a person's sexual orientation or gender identity – violates constitutional free speech protections...."

"...Also on the docket are two cases involving state bans on transgender athletes in interscholastic sport competition...."

"...A Republican congressman in Illinois is challenging a state law that allows mailed ballots to be counted up to two weeks after election day...."

"...A group of Louisiana conservatives have asked the court to strike down a provision of a voting rights law that requires states to draw congressional districts that guarantee Black voter representation equal to their population level...."

"...And the Republican Party is targeting a decades-old law that prevents political candidates and parties from coordinating their campaign spending...."

"...Over the past few years, this conservative-dominated Supreme Court has demonstrated a willingness to issue landmark new rulings that have dramatically shifted America's legal landscape...."

"...On topics like abortion rights, federal regulatory authority and the consideration of race in college admissions, the court has reversed decades of existing precedent...."

"...Those decisions have contributed to a public view of the Supreme Court that has become increasingly polarised along partisan lines...."

"...In a recent Pew Foundation poll, opinions of the nation's highest legal body were split nearly evenly, with Republicans supportive and Democrats highly critical...."
