The justices will also consider cases involving campaign finance restrictions and electioneering rules that have direct implications for political organizing and voter outreach. The mixture of permanent decisions and emergency interventions highlights the court’s growing role as an arbiter of immediate policy implementation.

The gap between Gabbard’s stance on Venezuela and the White House’s actions reflects a broader tension inherent in the Trump administration. Gabbard is far from the only cabinet-level official to have publicly and emphatically taken a stance that runs counter to administration policy. That isn’t the case in the current term, which saw Trump packing his cabinet with known political figures with well-documented, long-held beliefs. Of course, this isn’t universally true for all Trump cabinet secretaries — even those who have changed positions. Kennedy rose to national prominence as a skeptic of vaccines, and the Trump administration implemented his vision Monday by upending the nation’s pediatric vaccine schedule.
