The Important Supreme Court Cases To Be Decided In 2026


Axios.com lists some of the important Supreme Court cases for 2026: 

Birthright citizenship 


The Supreme Court will likely decide Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship in early 2026 in Trump v. Barbara.


Trump's tariff case 


SCOTUS will decide the legality of Trump declaring a national emergency to impose sweeping tariffs on foreign goods without congressional approval, in what he has called the "most important case ever" in Learning Resources v. Trump.


Banning conversion therapy 


SCOTUS is expected to rule on a case challenging bans on LGBTQ+ conversion therapy for minors — a discredited practice aimed at changing young people's sexual orientations or gender identities in Chiles v. Salazar.


Trans athletes in women's sports

 

SCOTUS will hear arguments in two major cases — one from Idaho and another from West Virginia — where states banned transgender athletes from participating in girls' sports in West Virginia v. B.P.J. and Little v. Hecox.


The Voting Rights Act

 

The high court appears poised to severely curtail Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act in a decision that would reshape how legislative and congressional maps are drawn nationwide and potentially reduce minority representation by significant margins in Louisiana v. Callais.


Campaign finance


SCOTUS will rule on a Republican-backed challenge that aims to overturn decades-old limits onhow much political parties can spend in coordination with candidates in NRSC v. FEC.


Firing independent agency heads

 

The Supreme Court will decide whether Trump has the unilateral authority to fire leaders of independent agencies in Trump v. Cook and Trump v. Slaughter.


Hawaii law prohibiting guns 


SCOTUS will rule on the legality of a Hawaii law that prohibits individuals from carrying guns onto private property unless the owner gives explicit consent in Wolford v. Lopez.
