'The Why' Explores: Do Supreme Court Cases Show A Shift?

The Supreme Court made two major moves this week that both pleased President Trump. But declaring an ideological lean is far more complicated.

This week, the U.S. Supreme Court made two moves President Donald Trump was surely pleased with. In one case, it allowed a ban on transgender people serving in the U.S. military while cases challenging the ban go through lower courts. In another, SCOTUS allowed an appeal by an unidentified foreign government fighting a subpoena believed to be from special counsel Robert Mueller.

Neither case is finished, but with only three months of this Supreme Court in its current form, have we already seen an ideological shift? Not so fast.

Newsy's Chance Seales takes a look at the cases and interviews Paul Rosenzweig, senior fellow at D.C. think tank R Street Institute.
