U.S. Supreme Court to review high-profile constitutional cases

More from this show

The U.S. Supreme Court is looking at several high-profile cases in December 2025. The Justices have agreed to decide if President Donald Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship with an executive order is constitutional.

Additionally, the U.S. Supreme Court has cleared the way for Texas to use a new congressional map that could help the Republican effort to shore up their majority in the upcoming 2026 midterm elections.

The unsigned decision on December 4, 2025, came after Texas filed an emergency request in November to block a lower-court ruling which blocked the new map. It was then passed by the Texas State Legislature and signed into law by Republican Governor Greg Abbott in August.

Stephen Montoya, a Partner at Montoya, Lucero and Pastor, joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss the upcoming cases and potential outcomes.
