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.

    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.

      I don’t know any leftists that are any less well armed, and staunchly pro gun ownership than at least the moderate right. Socialism and an armed populace go hand in hand. We’re pro-choice AF though.
