The Supreme Court has opened its new term with a strong focus on President Trump's executive power, hearing cases on voting rights and LGBTQ protections.

The court's conservative majority has generally favored Trump's administration in preliminary rulings, but in-depth reviews could lead to skepticism on certain policies.
