Trump's presidential pen could remake Supreme Court's agenda
Article Extract:
"Even before Donald Trump chooses a Supreme Court nominee, the new president can take steps to make several contentious court cases go away.
Legal challenges involving immigration, climate change, cost-free contraceptive care and transgender rights all could be affected, without any help from Congress.
The cases turn on Obama administration policies that rely on the president's pen, regulations or decisions made by federal agencies. And what one administration can do, the next can undo.
It is not uncommon for the court's docket to change when one party replaces the other in the White House. "
