The Supreme Court Gets Back to Work
By: Steve Grumm
Their robes dry-cleaned, their pencils sharpened, their hatchets (apparently) buried after last term’s contentious healthcare decision, the nine justices begin a new term today. Here are rundowns of the major cases which the court will tackle between now and next spring:
- “A Term under Construction” from the National Law Journal
- “Supreme Court to Delve into More Contentious Issues” from USA Today
- SCOTUS Blog looks at the cases being heard this week
- An LA Times editorial focuses on two big civil rights cases
- “Supreme Court Begins New Term on Monday with Voting Rights a Top Issue” from Fox News
- “Supreme Court Preview: the Roberts Legacy Term?” from the Atlantic
And on a related note, I’d recently remarked to myself – making remarks to myself is something I do more than I’d care to admit – that there’s very little Supreme Court discussion in the presidential campaign. The Washington Post looks into this today.
