The Supreme Court released its November argument calendar, running Nov. 2 to Nov. 10, the same week Trump publicly celebrated Justice Alito's decision to stay on the bench, calling him one of the 'Greatest of All Time.' Meanwhile, the administration has asked the Court to let its mail-in voting executive order take effect, a request 23 states and D.C. want denied, and the matter is now fully briefed and awaiting a ruling.
The Washington Post noted that in the six weeks since the Court's term ended, Trump has pushed new tariffs, renewed efforts to fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook, and issued fresh birthright citizenship orders — all after losing on similar fronts this summer. A White House spokeswoman insists every post-ruling action is 'consistent with the holdings and analysis' of the Court, which is one way to describe it.
Elsewhere, the government is fighting a trade court order requiring tariff refunds to all affected importers, arguing it violates a 2025 Supreme Court limit on universal injunctions. A Washington spa is asking the Court to review its transgender access policy, and Chief Justice Roberts published an essay praising William Howard Taft — a president whose failed reelection led to a more consequential second act on the bench.
