The term marks something of a showdown in which President Trump is trying to greatly expand his presidential powers by, among other things, limiting birthright citizenship and expanding his ability to fire the members of independent regulatory agencies.

While he faces an uphill battle on birthright, the conservative court seems likely to overturn a century-old precedent that barred the firing of independent regulatory agency commissioners

before their terms were over and without cause.

Writing for two of the three liberal dissenters, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said the court was essentially preventing the status quo from remaining in place while the case is fully litigated in the lower courts.

The court's conservative supermajority sent the case back to the Federal Court of Appeals in Richmond for a ruling on the merits of the case, which likely will take months, while Doge digs into the records. Justice Kagan noted her dissent while the court's other two liberals accused the majority of having, quote, truly lost its moorings. Nina Totenberg, NPR News, Washington.
