The Supreme Court has rejected some Trump administration moves in small but meaningful ways

The Supreme Court rejected the Republican administration’s position that it had the power to fire the head of a watchdog office.

In the other, the court slowed the effort to block the release of up to $2 billion in foreign aid.

The short-term losses for the administration may mean little, and the court's actions arguably reflect less about whether Trump was right or wrong in either case.

The Supreme Court has played a limited role so far, but Trump ’s presidency is less than two months old .

Experts say the justices appear inclined to allow the president more power to hire and fire agency heads.

The scale of the federal layoffs that the new administration wants to carry out could also put federal employment law in front of the high court.
