Jean Carroll after she accused him of a decades-old sexual assault in a Manhattan department store,\u201d according to The New York Times. \u201cThe president urged the justices to reject the jury\u2019s award, asserting that the Supreme Court\u2019s 2024 decision granting presidents sweeping immunity for actions they take in office shielded him from liability in the case.\u201d \u201cLawyers for the Justice Department separately also asked the justices to take up the case, according to a filing to the court reviewed by The Times.\u201d Trump\u2019s new petition, which has not yet been publicly docketed by the Supreme Court, is separate from his earlier appeal of a $5 million judgment against him in a sexual abuse and defamation case brought by Carroll. The justices denied that earlier petition for review on June 29, but Trump has since filed a petition for rehearing.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div><h3>Supreme Court Job Approval Slumps to Record Low<\/h3><p>Jeffrey M. Jones, Gallup<\/p><div><p>A new Gallup survey shows that \u201cAmericans\u2019 approval of the job the U.S. Supreme Court is doing has fallen to a record low of 33%, driven by a steep drop in Republicans\u2019 backing of the court since last year. The prior low approval rating was 39% measured a year ago.\u201d As Gallup noted, support for the court among Republicans has fallen significantly in recent months, from 79% in September 2025 to 58% this month. \u201cThis decline may indicate that rulings unfavorable to the Trump administration this term, such as those on tariffs and birthright citizenship, weigh more heavily in Republicans\u2019 evaluations of the court than the rulings that favored Trump and the GOP.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div><div><h3>Court panel declines to block Trump\u2019s mail ballot order, but its status for midterms remains unclear<\/h3><p>Nicholas Riccardi, Associated Press<\/p><div><p>One day after the Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to pause a lower-court decision limiting implementation of President Donald Trump\u2019s executive order on mail-in voting, a federal appellate panel on Tuesday declined to block the order in a separate but related case. \u201cThe three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia upheld a May ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Carl J. Nichols that said an injunction against the order was premature. Nichols ruled that the Democrats and voting rights groups who challenged the order couldn\u2019t seek the injunction until the Trump administration issued formal regulations governing it.\u201d However, Tuesday\u2019s decision from the D.C. Circuit panel \u201cnoted that if the administration truly tried to force such changes in the few months remaining before November\u2019s midterm election, it may well get halted by courts.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div><div><h3>Trump: New tariffs \u2018doing the same thing\u2019 as the ones struck down by Supreme Court<\/h3><p>Kevin Breuninger, CNBC<\/p><div><p>During an interview on Tuesday, President Donald Trump said new tariffs imposed by his administration, including the 10% to 12.5% tariffs imposed last week \u201con goods from more than 80 countries, on the grounds that those trade partners failed to effectively prohibit the use of forced labor,\u201d \u201care functionally the same as the ones the Supreme Court struck down as illegal earlier this year,\u201d according to CNBC. \u201cIt\u2019s a shame that I have to go a harder way for the tariffs because the Supreme Court, in a very close decision, you know, ruled against me,\u201d the president said. CNBC noted that \u201cTrump\u2019s comments on tariffs came four days after a federal lawsuit accused his administration of using different statutes as a pretext to resurrect the global tariff regime that failed in the courts.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div><div><h3>Florida carries out first double execution in 60 years<\/h3><p>Katie Mettler, The Washington Post<span><svg><\/svg><\/span><\/p><div><p>The executions in Florida on Tuesday of James Aren Duckett and Dominick Occhicone \u201cfurther cement[ed] Florida as the most active death penalty state in the nation,\u201d according to The Washington Post. Since Gov. Ron DeSantis \u201ctook office in 2019, the Florida Department of Corrections has executed 38 people, a rate that exceeds any other state\u2019s by a wide margin.\u201d Florida\u2019s embrace of the death penalty comes as Americans\u2019 approval of capital punishment is on the decline. \u201cA 2025 Gallup poll found that 52 percent of respondents were in favor of executing those convicted of murder and 44 percent were opposed \u2013 the lowest favorability numbers since 1972, when the Supreme Court ruled in a landmark case that many state death penalty statutes were \u2018cruel and unusual.\u2019\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div><div><h3>Most Americans favor big changes to the political system that likely would require amending the Constitution<\/h3><p>Drew DeSilver and John Gramlich, Pew Research Center<\/p><div><p>In a new analysis on recent public opinion polls, Pew Research Center highlighted broad support for a variety of \u201cmajor changes to the nation\u2019s political system,\u201d including age limits for Supreme Court justices. Overall, 74% of U.S. adults, including 82% of Democrats and 68% of Republicans, favor putting a maximum age limit in place for justices. Pew noted that a similar share of Americans (79%) favor \u201cputting a maximum age limit in place for federal elected officials.\u201d Age limits likely couldn\u2019t be imposed in either context without a constitutional amendment, according to Pew.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div><h2>On Site<\/h2><div><div><div><div><span>Court News<\/span><h3>Trump administration appears not to have asked Supreme Court to rehear birthright citizenship case<\/h3><p>By <!-- -->Amy Howe<\/p><p>The Trump administration will apparently not ask the Supreme Court to reconsider its June 30 ruling that struck down President Donald Trump\u2019s executive order ending birthright citizenship.

Are some justices more likely than others to dissent from the bench?<\/strong><\/p><p>A: Oral dissents \u2013 that is, when a justice reads a summary of his or her dissent from the bench when an opinion is handed down \u2013 are fairly rare. They are a signal of how strongly the dissenting justice feels about his or her disagreement with the majority. The court\u2019s Democratic appointees \u2013 and in particular Justice Sonia Sotomayor \u2013 are most likely to dissent from the bench (probably because they are most likely to be on the losing side in the most ideologically divided cases). Indeed, during the 2025-26 term, Sotomayor delivered multiple oral dissents, including when the court sided against asylum seekers in a border dispute, cleared the way for the president to remove the heads of certain federal agencies, and upheld laws barring transgender females from competing on women\u2019s and girls\u2019 sports teams.<\/p><p>During the 2024-25 term, there were (as reflected in the opinion announcement audio clips available at Oyez) only three dissents from the bench, all from Sotomayor. They came in three of the biggest cases of the term: <em>Mahmoud v. Taylor<\/em>, <em>Trump v. CASA<\/em>, and <em>United States v. Skrmetti<\/em>.<\/p><p>There were six dissents from the bench during the 2023-24 term. Four came from Sotomayor, in <em>City of Grants Pass v. Johnson<\/em>, <em>Garland v. Cargill<\/em>, <em>SEC v. Jarkesy<\/em>, and <em>Trump v. United States<\/em>. Justices Elena Kagan (<em>Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo<\/em>) and Ketanji Brown Jackson (<em>Corner Post v. Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System<\/em>) had one each. Jackson also had an unusual oral concurring opinion, in <em>Moyle v.
