Listen Live: Supreme Court begins blockbuster term under political microscope
CBSN
Washington — The Supreme Court is convening Monday to begin its new term, one that will be shaped by decisions in disputes over gun rights, religious liberty and, in the most divisive case before it, abortion.
The justices are returning to hear oral arguments in-person for the first time since the start of the COVID-19pandemic in March 2020, and with the trio of blockbuster cases on the docket, the term will shed light on how dramatically the 6-3 conservative majority will change the law.
By the summer of 2022, with Democrats' efforts to hold control of the House and Senate in full swing, the high court will likely have issued decisions on whether to expand Second Amendment rights, to chip away at a woman's right to an abortion and continue its pattern of siding with religious organizations.
