The Supreme Court is returning to a new term to take up some familiar topics — guns and abortion — and concerns about ethics swirling around the justices.
The year also will have a heavy focus on social media and how free speech protections apply online. A big unknown is whether the court will be asked to weigh in on any aspect of the criminal cases against former President Donald Trump and others or efforts in some states to keep the Republican off the 2024 presidential ballot because of his role in trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election that he lost to Democrat Joe Biden.
Lower-profile but vitally important, several cases in the term that begins Monday ask the justices to constrict the power of regulatory agencies.
The religious tribunal has decreed … more babies … and more guns!!!
Seems like a problem that fixes itself.
Nah, it just results in the children of conservatives killing loads and loads of leftists before they take themselves out to not face any consequences.

So about abortion being a states rights matter? That was just a joke, huh?
it’s up to the states, but only a select few states like florida and texas.
The Supreme Joke, more like it.
Pack the court.
Balance the court. It’s already been packed by McConnell starting in Obama’s second term. It should just be tied to the number of federal appellate courts.
It’s starting to look like we might need a few less justices, actually.
It’s not like they’re going to resign and there’s no mechanism to remove them so, uh, unless you’re advocating violence I don’t see how that’s going to work. I think we need to pack the court up to around 17 justices and get back to the business of government instead of playing activist on guns, civil rights, corporate power and abortion.
I’m disabled, so not me personally, but frankly when it comes to conservatives that have devoted their lives to causing as many other people to suffer as possible, yeah, I’m advocating violence.
This illegitimate court needs to be aborted.
213th trimester abortions?
Wow, the definitely not far right supreme court sure does have an unbiased and non political agenda.
Well that’s not good. sigh
At a minimum, the number of judges should at least match the number of federal districts we have
I’m holding my breath /s
Glad to see they are picking up more gun cases. Various states have been blatantly disregarding court decisions on this matter.
Yup. Even if you’re antigun, States blatantly disregarding federal directives should concern you.
Huh I guess if you’re gonna pick a hill to die on, why not something that can actually kill you? There is absolutely no good that will ever come from being obsessed over a tool of death …
It’s a tool millions use to put inexpensive, high-quality food on the table; a critical resource for many poor people. And, for those put in the unfortunate position to need it, it is a tool to save life.
You may not have high opinions, but many people rely on this tool on a regular basis.
I frequently go hunting with my Glock.
Gun regulation doesn’t stop you having guns as tools. Educate yourself instead of spouting idiocy.
Gun control doesn’t stop. The goal is always disarmament and people believing otherwise is why it gets to happen.
Sure, that’s why it doesn’t work that way anywhere there’s gun control. Because Americans are special snowflakes.
Those other places also implemented things that actually reduce all violence like universal healthcare, workers rights, stronger welfare, maternity/paternity leave, mandatory vacation time, etc.
Places like the UK have lower rates of murder via martial attacks (punches, kicks, strangle, etc) yet I don’t think they have gym control limiting how strong you can be.
Happy, healthy, financially safe people don’t commit violence.
Yes, you should get those too, not ignore gun control.
