Key Figures

After the Callais v. Louisiana ruling, President Donald Trump posts on Truth Social urging states to cancel active elections mid-cycle to redraw congressional maps. He predicts 20+ new Republican seats and states: \"We cannot allow there to be an Election that is conducted unconstitutionally simply for the 'convenience' of State Legislatures. If they have to vote twice, so be it.\"

The Supreme Court holds oral arguments in Mullin v. Doe, a consolidated case challenging the Trump administration's terminations of Temporary Protected Status for Haiti and Syria. The administration argues that the TPS statute's language bars judicial review of termination decisions. Several conservative justices appear receptive to the administration's argument that TPS terminations are committed to agency discretion. Justice Amy Coney Barrett and Chief Justice John Roberts press the government on whether any judicial check exists on termination decisions. A ruling against judicial review would effectively strip Yemen TPS holders of their ability to challenge Noem's termination — even if Noem skipped required procedures.

The Supreme Court ruled in 2026 that President Trump's use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose broad import tariffs was unconstitutional. The Court of International Trade had struck down the tariffs in May 2025, ruling IEEPA did not authorize tariff imposition; the Supreme Court's ruling resolved the central legal question and required the administration to seek congressional authorization to maintain the tariff regime or identify an alternative statutory basis.

The Supreme Court hears oral arguments in Watson v. RNC, a case that could eliminate mail ballot grace periods in 14 states and the District of Columbia before the 2026 midterms. The Republican National Committee argues that a 1872 federal statute setting a uniform Election Day preempts state grace periods that allow ballots postmarked by Election Day to arrive and be counted after Election Day. During questioning, Justice Amy Coney Barrett and Justice Brett Kavanaugh raise doubts about the states' argument. Justice Sonia Sotomayor challenges whether the 1872 Congress intended to invalidate state accommodations for postal delays. A ruling is expected by late June 2026.

The Supreme Court issued a per curiam opinion on March 23, 2026, reversing the Second Circuit and granting qualified immunity to Vermont Sergeant Jacob Zorn, who used an arm-lock to remove protester Shela Linton from the state capitol during a sit-in. The unsigned majority held that existing precedent did not clearly establish that Zorn's specific conduct violated the Constitution. Justice Sonia Sotomayor dissented, joined by the two other liberal justices, arguing a jury could find Zorn violated Linton's Fourth Amendment rights.
