The conservative majority indicated they thought he should.

NPR's Andrea Hsu is listening to the arguments and joins us now.

Good morning.

OK, so let's back up first and just talk about this case, which involved the firing of a federal trade commissioner who then sued the Trump administration to challenge her firing.

But it's not about just that.

Right, Andrea?

What's at stake here?

OK, but it sounds like the conservative justices didn't buy that historical argument.

What did the liberal justices have to say about this?

Now to Indiana, where the state Senate is convening in a special session this week.

Senators plan to vote on new political maps that would help Republicans capture all nine of Indiana's seats in Congress.

It's the latest in an unprecedented wave of mid-cycle redistricting spurred by President Trump's demands to boost his party's chances in next year's midterms.

NPR congressional reporter Sam Greenglass joins us now from Indianapolis.

Hi, Sam.

Hey, Leila.

So lots of states, right, are doing this mid-cycle redistricting and this kind of tit for tat.

Why is Indiana so notable?

Well, first, it is high drama.

We do not know what's going to happen here.

Currently, Indiana is represented by seven Republicans and two Democrats.
