TL;DR Summary

Former President Donald Trump's relationship with the Supreme Court has been rocky, with his administration having the worst track record before the justices since at least the 1930s. Despite appointing three justices, the fundamentally conservative court, with a six-justice majority of Republican appointees including three named by Trump himself, has not been particularly receptive to his arguments. Now, new Trump-related cases are before the court, including ones on his immunity from prosecution, federal election-interference charges, and his eligibility for another term under the 14th Amendment. The court's conservative wing, including Trump's appointees, has shown a surprising willingness to vote against him in politically charged cases.
