Supreme Court

Even Trump’s lawyers concede that deporting Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia was illegal.

Despite the fact there isn’t a plausible argument the Alien Enemies Act can be used to do so.

At least some GOP legal elites are lining up against Trump’s trade policy. That could be enough to sway the justices.

The justices are likely to give gun companies a win, but they aren’t sure how they will do it yet.

The first DEI case of Trump’s second term turns out to be an easy win against a rule that no one likes.

America’s worst NIMBY problem comes to the Supreme Court.

Restraining orders? Injunctions? What do all the court orders against Trump mean?
