Prutehi Guahan","argued":"2026-10-07","summary":"The Air Force disposes of waste munitions by open detonation at Tarague Beach on Guam under a hazardous-waste permit. It applied to Guam's environmental agency to renew the permit without preparing an environmental analysis under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The questions are whether a federal agency's permit renewal application is \"final agency action\" that can be challenged in court under the Administrative Procedure Act, and whether NEPA applies to activity covered by a permit under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.","transcriptUrl":"https://www.supremecourt.gov/oral_arguments/argument_transcripts/2026/25-579_g31h.pdf","audioUrl":"https://www.supremecourt.gov/oral_arguments/audio/2026/25-579","opinionUrl":"","scotusblogUrl":"https://www.scotusblog.com/cases/department-of-the-air-force-v-guahan/","createdAt":"2026-10-08T13:52:18.713Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-08T14:26:36.213Z"},{"docket":"25-498","title":"Anderson v. Intel Corporation Investment Policy Committee","argued":"2026-10-06","summary":"Participants in Intel's retirement plans allege that plan fiduciaries acted imprudently under ERISA by placing a large share of two fund families in hedge funds and private equity, and that the funds trailed other investments as a result. The Ninth Circuit held that the complaint did not compare Intel's funds to funds with similar aims. The question is whether a plaintiff who relies on a fund's underperformance to plead imprudence must identify a \"meaningful benchmark,\" a comparator fund with similar aims, to survive a motion to dismiss.","transcriptUrl":"https://www.supremecourt.gov/oral_arguments/argument_transcripts/2026/25-498_febh.pdf","audioUrl":"https://www.supremecourt.gov/oral_arguments/audio/2026/25-498","opinionUrl":"","scotusblogUrl":"https://www.scotusblog.com/cases/anderson-v-intel-corp-investment-policy-comm/","createdAt":"2026-10-08T13:52:18.179Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-08T14:26:35.782Z"},{"docket":"25-735","title":"Johnson v.

The question is whether a veteran may bring a constitutional challenge to a veterans' benefits statute in district court, or whether Section 511(a) of the veterans' benefits laws requires that the claim go through the Department of Veterans Affairs, with review only in the Veterans Court and the Federal Circuit.","transcriptUrl":"https://www.supremecourt.gov/oral_arguments/argument_transcripts/2026/25-735_ca7d.pdf","audioUrl":"https://www.supremecourt.gov/oral_arguments/audio/2026/25-735","opinionUrl":"","scotusblogUrl":"https://www.scotusblog.com/cases/johnson-v-united-states-congress/","createdAt":"2026-10-08T14:22:56.557Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-08T14:26:35.370Z"},{"docket":"25-170","title":"Suncor Energy (U.S.A.)

The Colorado Supreme Court rejected the companies' federal preemption arguments and let the case proceed. The question is whether the structure of the Constitution or the Clean Air Act prevents state law from governing such claims.
