"Sweeping Legal Battles Engulf Trump Administration in November 2025"

# Trump Administration Court Battles: November 2025 Update

Hello listeners, and welcome back. We're diving straight into what's been happening in the courts surrounding the Trump administration, and there's quite a bit to unpack from just the past few days.

Let's start with what happened on Wednesday, November fifth. The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a major case that consolidated two separate matters into one consolidated case before the nation's highest court. President Trump's legal team, represented by Solicitor General D. John Sauer from the Department of Justice, faced off against respondents including V.O.S. Selections, Inc., represented by attorney Neal K. Katyal from Washington, D.C. State parties also got their moment, represented by Benjamin N. Gutman, the Solicitor General from Salem, Oregon. The Supreme Court gave the case a total of one hour for oral argument, which tells you how significant this matter is.

This case got expedited treatment from the Supreme Court back in early September. The petitioners filed their motion to expedite on September third, and by September ninth, the Supreme Court had already granted both the motion to expedite and the petition for a writ of certiorari. That fast-tracked process meant the parties went through their briefing schedules compressed into just a matter of weeks rather than months. Opening briefs were due September nineteenth, response briefs came by October twentieth, and reply briefs followed by October thirtieth.

Beyond the Supreme Court action, the Trump administration continues to face a flurry of legal challenges across the country. The Just Security litigation tracker shows dozens of cases filed against various Trump administration actions. Some cases involve civil liberties concerns related to executive actions targeting specific law firms. Other litigation focuses on immigration enforcement operations, with cases filed in places like Chicago, Illinois, following what the administration called Operation Midway Blitz in early September.

There's also ongoing litigation concerning gender-related policies. Cases have been filed in Massachusetts and Maryland challenging executive orders that restrict gender-affirming care for individuals under nineteen years old. Additionally, a case closed earlier this year in New Jersey involved litigation over the ban on transgender individuals serving in the military, though another related case in the Court of Federal Claims remains pending.

Some executive orders have faced temporary blocks from courts. The litigation tracker notes that Democratic National Committee challenges to an election integrity executive order were temporarily blocked, as were challenges to certain actions against law firms and diversity equity and inclusion programs.

The scale of litigation is remarkable. The Lawfare Media litigation tracker shows that a coalition of nonprofits and cities sued the Trump administration over suspension of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits for November twenty twenty-five, demonstrating how these legal challenges span multiple policy areas and affect different populations.

What's particularly noteworthy is the speed at which cases are moving through the courts and the breadth of legal challenges being mounted simultaneously across district courts, circuit courts, and now the Supreme Court level.
