LIVE: US Supreme Court Oral Arguments: Nielsen v. Watanabe and Hoffmann v. WBI Energy Transmission Inc.

Watch Live coverage of oral arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court at 10 a.m. ET on Nov. 9, as justices hear two important cases addressing constitutional rights, federal authority, and property rights.

Case 1: Nielsen v. Watanabe (No. 25-417)

This case concerns whether a federal prisoner can sue a federal prison medical staff member for monetary damages over allegedly inadequate medical treatment. The court will consider whether the prisoner's Eighth Amendment claim can proceed under Bivens, which allows certain lawsuits against federal officials for constitutional violations.

Case 2: Hoffmann v. WBI Energy Transmission Inc. (No. 25-159)

This case concerns property rights and eminent domain. The justices will consider whether state law or federal law determines the compensation owed to landowners when a private natural gas pipeline company takes their property for pipeline construction. At issue is whether landowners can recover attorney's fees under state law as part of their compensation.
