President Trump, six months into his second term, has effectively advanced his agenda through the Supreme Court he reshaped. With three justices appointed by him, the court has enabled actions affecting over a million immigrants and thousands of federal employees. Trump's administration has utilized emergency appeals to expedite cases, leading to decisions without elaboration. This shift reflects his bold governing style amid fewer dissenting voices. The Supreme Court's conservative majority has rendered rulings without clarity, and dissent from Justice Sotomayor underscores the judiciary's role in maintaining legal integrity against executive overreach.
