Story summary
At the SCOTUSblog Summit, Sarah Isgur, David French, and Amy Howe discussed upcoming cases for the Supreme Court's 2026 term. They highlighted a significant case involving the Trump administration where the government is unlikely to succeed in challenging a district court’s preliminary injunction. The trio aimed to preview the term in an engaging manner rather than a formal briefing session. Sarah even encouraged David to make a Star Wars reference during their discussion, adding a lighter tone to the legal analysis.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
