Donald Trump’s victory Tuesday heralds a potential sea change in court fights over a swath of Biden administration policies, including access to gender-affirming care, immigration, environmental rules and gun control.
The highest profile of those shifts may come at the Supreme Court, where the Biden administration is currently defending its positions in almost half a dozen cases on major issues that a Trump administration could reverse. But the Justice Department under Trump also could change or reverse positions in dozens of cases in lower courts across the country.
Jonathan Adler, a law professor at Case Western Reserve University, and other experts said there are some complications to changing tack while at the Supreme Court, but Trump has signaled hostility to many of the positions taken by the Biden administration.
