Supreme Court Heads Into New Term with One Eye on President Trump

The Supreme Court reconvened on Monday for a new term, with justices set to hear over 20 cases addressing climate change, voting rights, gun control, and religious freedom.
Following a busy summer emergency docket covering mail-in voting changes and White House construction, the Court now addresses a packed schedule of influential cases involving state regulations.
Justices will review Cook County's assault weapons ban, deciding whether the Second and 14th Amendments protect AR-15 possession, which gun rights advocates argue is constitutionally guaranteed.
Suncor Energy Inc. and ExxonMobil argue federal law preempts state-level climate damage claims, while the Court also evaluates Arizona's proof-of-citizenship voting requirements under the National Voter Registration Act.
In St. Mary Catholic Parish vs. Roy, the Court will address whether Catholic preschools can receive state funding while maintaining faith-based admissions policies, balancing religious freedom against nondiscrimination agreements.
