Now, what about the cases relating to federal workers? Yeah, that was another big win, though, again, a bit of a win on technicality. A lower court had ordered Trump to rehire about 16,000 provisional federal workers that he had fired from agencies like Agriculture, Defense, and Veteran Affairs.

Well, in a 7-2 ruling, SCOTUS found that the organization's suing lacked standing since individual workers weren't part of that lawsuit. So it overturned the lower court ruling. So as with a couple of these other rulings, it's part of a trend of the court putting the brakes on what many are calling judicial activism from these lower courts.

Oh, yeah, there definitely have. And that has led to some significant grumbling from conservatives about Justice Amy Coney Barrett and Chief Justice John Roberts, who have tended to be the two that are siding with the liberal justices.

to reinstate two Biden-appointed board members that he had fired from two independent agencies, the National Labor Relations Board and the Merit Systems Protection Board. Well, last Wednesday, Roberts did put a temporary hold on those orders, but it wasn't the clear ruling that the administration was looking for.

So it's a partial setback because essentially it leaves the issue unresolved and it will likely have big implications for how much control Trump has over these federal agencies and whether he's able to continue pursuing that aggressive agenda through executive actions.

So next week, the court is set to hear arguments regarding the president's claim of immunity from prosecution over his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

Yeah, sure. So primarily, these are grants that are flowing to universities under the umbrella of the Department of Health and Human Services for research projects.
