The U.S. Supreme Court will address controversial topics such as abortion pills, guns, and social media in its new term. Previously resolved issues like extreme partisan gerrymandering are also back on the docket. The conservative-leaning Supreme Court has returned some issues to the states. Still, the conservative 5th Circuit Court, which covers Texas and parts of the deep South, has appealed some of those rulings, leading to potential reversals. Key issues that will likely be addressed include restrictions on the abortion pill mifepristone and the constitutionality of a federal law banning gun possession for individuals with domestic violence restraining orders. The court also deals with cases involving voting rights and challenges to federal agency regulatory powers.
