Trump DOJ expected to undo Biden’s stance on Supreme Court cases
SUMMARY
President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming Justice Department is expected to reverse the Biden administration’s positions on key Supreme Court cases, potentially reshaping major legal areas. These include bans on transgender procedures for minors, firearm regulations on “ghost guns,” flavored vaping product restrictions, California’s emissions standards, abortion pill access, and the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy. Such legal reversals are common during administration transitions, but their impacts depend on Supreme Court rulings. Notably, Trump’s solicitor general nominee, D. John Sauer, signals a readiness to challenge Biden-era policies. Legal experts predict Trump’s stance could bolster state authority in cases like transgender care bans and emissions waivers while supporting deregulation in firearms, vaping, and abortion access. Trump’s approach to DACA and mifepristone may reflect his centrist tendencies, leaving states to push cases forward.
