Congress creates laws.
Federal agencies implement those laws.
Courts determine whether government actions comply with the Constitution and statutes.
The resulting tension is built into the American system.
Trump’s second administration has tested that system in numerous areas.
Immigration.
Federal employment.
Administrative agencies.
Tariffs.
Elections.
Regulation.
Executive orders.
These disputes have produced major court battles.
The Supreme Court has therefore become an important institution in determining which parts of the administration’s agenda can proceed.

It would be wrong to suggest that the Supreme Court has consistently blocked Trump.
It has not.
The Court has issued several decisions that benefited the administration.
Reuters’ review of the 2025–26 term highlighted victories for conservatives and the administration in several important areas, including presidential authority and immigration.
The 8–1 FCC decision is another example.
