The justices are weighing two high-profile requests from President Donald Trump \u2013 on \u201chis mail ballot restrictions and &#8230; White House ballroom construction\u201d \u2013 and received several other emergency applications just in the past week, addressing \u201ca contempt fight from Apple, an execution and even an effort to save a \u2018vicious\u2019 dog from euthanasia,\u201d according to The Hill. The Trump requests \u201cagain put[] the high court in the hot seat after its string of key rulings on other aspects of Trump\u2019s agenda.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div><div><h3>Angry at the Supreme Court, liberals push a slew of plans for overhauling it<\/h3><p>Julian Mark, The Washington Post<\/p><div><p>After \u201csignificant conservative victories that pared back the 1965 Voting Rights Act, loosened campaign finance rules and increased presidential power\u201d during the 2025-26 term, Democrat-led \u201cproposals to overhaul the Supreme Court have reached something of a fever pitch,\u201d according to The Washington Post. \u201cOne bill proposes increasing the number of Supreme Court justices from nine to 13. Another would cut their lifetime terms to 18 years. Others would create an enforceable ethics code and place standards on how the court rules from its relatively opaque \u2018shadow docket.\u2019\u201d \u201cThere\u2019s constant and building dismay about the increasingly appalling record of the court,\u201d said Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, a Democrat from Rhode Island, to the Post. \u201cAnd I think the continuing interest in reform springs from continued dismay and concern about the court\u2019s misbehavior.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div><div><h3>Appeals court dodges major ruling on Trump\u2019s contentious use of obscure deportation law<\/h3><p>Lawrence Hurley, NBC News<\/p><div><p>Last year, President Donald Trump tried to use \u201can obscure law called the Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members.\u201d The resulting lawsuit made it to the Supreme Court\u2019s emergency docket, where the justices \u201cblocked the government from immediately removing the alleged Tren de Aragua gang members without offering them any opportunity to challenge the move.\u201d The Supreme Court sent the case back to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, where \u201ca three-judge panel ruled against Trump\u201d and then \u201cthe full 17-member court &#8230; agreed to rehear the case,\u201d according to NBC News. On Thursday, the en banc 5th Circuit \u201cdismissed the case because the Trump administration has now removed all three plaintiffs from the U.S. using alternative legal authorities.\u201d \u201cThis development is unobjectionable,\u201d wrote Judge Jennifer Walker Elrod. \u201cThe Supreme Court expressly said that the government could remove the named petitioners and putative class under other laws.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div><div><h3>ICE keeps racking up losses at the appeals courts on mandatory detention<\/h3><p>Kyle Cheney, Politico<span><svg><\/svg><\/span><\/p><div><p>On Thursday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit became the seventh federal appeals court to reject the Trump administration\u2019s effort to subject noncitizens apprehended within the country to mandatory detention without the \u201cchance for a bond hearing to prove they could live safely in their communities.\u201d A divided 1st Circuit panel \u201c that the Trump administration\u2019s massive expansion of detention without bond was a distortion of decades-old immigration laws that were aimed primarily at recent border-crossers, not those who have resided in the country for years,\u201d according to Politico. Federal appeals courts are now split 7-2 over this issue, \u201cand both judges and attorneys expect the [Supreme Court] to jump at the chance to resolve an issue that has overwhelmed the courts for a year.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div><div><h3>Trump\u2019s State Voter Rolls Push Wins Over More Appeals Judges<\/h3><p>Eric Heisig, Bloomberg Law<\/p><div><p>On Friday, the full U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit announced that it will not rehear a case on the Justice Department\u2019s effort to access \u201cMichigan\u2019s unredacted voter rolls, though nine Republican appointees signaled some support for the Trump administration\u2019s arguments,\u201d according to Bloomberg Law. That backing was notable, because, until now, the Justice Department\u2019s effort to collect voter rolls from \u201cnumerous states and Washington, DC\u201d has garnered very little support from federal judges. \u201cThe department has had no success in cases where courts have ruled; 22 trial judges have also sided against it, most recently in Nevada on Friday. With cases pending before several other appeals courts, the issue appears destined for the US Supreme Court.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div><h2>On Site<\/h2><div><div><div><div><span>Court News<\/span><h3>Trump brings ballroom dispute to the Supreme Court<\/h3><p>By <!-- -->Amy Howe<\/p><p>The Trump administration came to the Supreme Court on Friday, asking the justices to allow construction of the new White House ballroom to continue while a challenge to the project continues in the lower courts.

The window to enter the lottery begins \u201cshortly after the calendar for a monthly argument session is released,\u201d and, indeed, the clock is now running for the October and November argument sessions.<\/p><p>If attending an oral argument is a bucket-list item for you (or one of your friends or family members), here\u2019s a quick recap of how the process works and what you need to know:<\/p><p>The mechanics are less painful than \u201cgovernment website\u201d would suggest. As mentioned, applications open shortly after a monthly calendar is posted; you can either go to the Supreme Court website, and from there to \u201cCourtroom Seating\u201d (under the \u201cOral Arguments\u201d dropdown) or directly to the Supreme Court\u2019s \u201cOnline Ticketing\u201d site. Once there, you click the blue \u201cContinue\u201d button, click a highlighted day on the reservation system\u2019s calendar, and follow the prompts. The main thing to pay attention to here is that after you submit, the court sends you a validation email to the address you entered, and you have four hours to click through before your application lapses.<\/p><p>Applications for a given argument close four weeks before the argument date. Three weeks out, the court emails every applicant with one of three answers \u2013 selected, not selected, or waitlisted. Waitlisted applicants can still be called up as late as one business day before argument. If you are selected, you have 24 hours to confirm, after which your seat goes to someone else.<\/p><p>Each person may enter only once per argument, and a single application can cover up to four people, who are entered as a unit (either the whole group gets seats or none of them do). Submitting duplicate entries can get you disqualified, and there is no working the refs: the court\u2019s FAQ states that the selection process is \u201centirely automated.\u201d<\/p><p>Your odds depend heavily on the case (if more people enter, that means there\u2019s less of a chance that you will be chosen at random), and tickets are non-transferable. If your plans change, cancel through the link in your ticket email; not showing up can cost you eligibility for future lotteries.<\/p><p>On the morning of the argument, plan to arrive an hour before it is scheduled to start, entering through the south visitor\u2019s entrance beneath the right side of the front steps. Bring the ticket, printed out or on your phone, plus your ID. Since electronics (phones, smart watches, cameras, tablets) can\u2019t come into the courtroom, you will put them in the lockers available downstairs. Attendees for the 10 a.m. argument are seated 15 to 30 minutes before the session begins.<\/p><p>If the lottery doesn\u2019t break your way, seats are still set aside for people in line the morning of argument. Oh, and for anyone who can\u2019t use the online system, the court accepts entries by phone or mail to the Marshal\u2019s office.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div><h2>SCOTUS Quote<\/h2><div><div><p>MR.
