A fourth justice, Brett Kavanaugh, found the Constitution wouldn\u2019t block the president\u2019s plan, though he found it did violate a federal law.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">A week after the decision came down, Trump said in a social media post he would \u201cbe asking for a Rehearing by the United States Supreme Court, IMMEDIATELY.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The White House and Justice Department did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The last time the Supreme Court granted any petition to change an opinion was in 1965, and the last time it reversed a decision was almost a decade earlier, in a case from 1956, said Aaron-Andrew Bruhl, a law professor at William &amp; Mary Law School.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The bar to grant a petition for rehearing is high. It would require at least one justice who ruled against Trump to change their mind and a majority of the court would have to agree, Bruhl said.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2026 The Associated Press.
