From the Washington Post: The Supreme Court has expanded Trump’s power. He’s seeking much more.

The legislature has supported the president's expansion of executive power. The judiciary has a little, but how much further may it go?

The Supreme Court has already expanded President Donald Trump’s authority in a string of emergency rulings, but in his firing of Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook and other issues probably headed to the court, he’s signaling that he continues to seek broader powers for the executive branch.

The cases could serve as major tests of how much further the nation’s high court is willing to go to bless the president’s assertion of executive authority. They differ from previous showdowns because of the sheer magnitude of the authority Trump is seeking to wield and because he wants greater control over powers the Constitution ascribes to another branch of government.

In addition to Cook’s case, which could make its way to the high court after she sued last week, a blockbuster case over Trump’s tariffs is expected to arrive at the Supreme Court soon after an appeals court struck them down. The Trump administration’s push to withhold tens of billions of dollars in foreign aid appropriated by Congress could also end up in the court.
