neil gorsuch

US President Donald Trump on Tuesday nominated conservative appeals court judge neil gorsuch to the Supreme Court, ensuring that -- if he is confirmed -- America's apex court will continue to lean right for the foreseeable future.

Trump himself pointed out that "depending on their age, a justice can be active for 50 years and his or her decisions can last a century or more and can often be permanent" to illustrate the magnitude of the nomination.

The US Supreme Court on Monday gave fresh hope to the parents of a homeless man who died in police custody in Missouri in their lawsuit accusing officers of using excessive force in the moments before their son died handcuffed and shackled in a cell.

The Supreme Court has allowed Hampton Dellinger to stay as head of the Office of Special Counsel at least until Wednesday, postponing the Trump administration's request to remove him. The court's decision was closely divided, with significant debate over the judicial power to reinstate fired presidential appointees.

US Supreme Court rejected President-elect Donald Trump's request to delay his sentencing in the hush money case, ruling that sentencing will not significantly impact his responsibilities. Trump was convicted on 34 counts related to falsifying business records for a payment to Stormy Daniels. He is set to attend his virtual sentencing in Manhattan.

President-elect Donald Trump criticized the US Supreme Court's decision to allow the sentencing hearing in his New York hush money case, terming it politically motivated. He remains confident in his eventual justice, despite his immediate request for a delay being rejected by the court.

At the heart of the case was whether Trump could use emergency powers under a national-security law to impose broad tariffs on imports. The Supreme Court ruled that the statute did not authorise such sweeping action. It held that tariffs are essentially a form of taxation, and under the Constitution, the power to impose taxes rests with Congress.

Her successor, who would be Trump's third nomination to the high court, is expected to lastingly anchor the country's highest judicial body firmly on the political right. The president is counting on the Republican majority in the Senate to confirm his eventual choice.

The landmark 6-3 ruling represented the biggest moment for LGBT rights in the United States since the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage in 2015. Gay and transgender people will now be protected under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which bars employers from discriminating against employees on the basis of sex, race, colour, origin and religion.

The US Supreme Court permitted the Trump administration to proceed with slashing research grants. These grants were awarded by the National Institutes of Health. The grants were aligned with diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. The court's decision marks a significant development in a legal battle. The battle is over federal funding priorities.

"No citizen, not even the president, is categorically above the common duty to produce evidence when called upon in a criminal proceeding," said the US Supreme Court on Thursday dealing a severe blow to President Donald Trump, rejecting his claim to absolute immunity while in office and ruling that prosecutor Cyrus Vance could pursue a subpoena to access his financial records.

"I will be putting forth a nominee next week. I could say most likely it would be a woman. I think I can say that. If somebody were to ask me now I would say that a woman would be in first place," Donald Trump told supporters at an election rally in North Carolina on Saturday.

Union minister Pralhad Joshi stated the Union government will study the US Supreme Court's ruling on tariffs before issuing an official statement, with the commerce and external affairs ministries handling the response. Joshi also condemned the Indian Youth Congress's shirtless protest at the India AI Summit as shameful and disruptive.
