The commission didn't vote on the ballroom.

That will come at a future meeting.

Tamara Keith, NPR News.

on Wednesday, the 7th of January.

There's so much reading in that first year.

May the force be with you.

Hey there, it's the NPR Politics Podcast.

I'm Tamara Keith.

I cover the White House.

I'm Carrie Johnson.

I cover the Justice Department.

And today on the show, we are talking about some of the major decisions expected to come from the U.S.

Supreme Court in the days, weeks and months ahead.

The court has indicated it could release its first opinions of the year as early as Friday.

Kerry, one opinion that we are watching for and could get on Friday concerns President Trump's tariffs policy.

Remind us of the key issue here.

Appropriations and taxation.

So yeah, and President Trump is clearly very, very concerned about this case.

He has been posting on social media at a very regular cadence, including this post from January 2nd saying, quote, tariffs are an overwhelming benefit to our nation as they have been incredible for our national security and prosperity like nobody has ever seen before, exclamation point.

Losing our ability to tariff other countries who treat us unfairly would be a terrible blow to the United States of America.
