The U.S. Supreme Court began a new nine-month term on Monday that will involve a case on guns, online pornography, federal regulatory powers concerning nuclear waste storage and vape products, job discrimination, disputes involving Nvidia and Facebook and more. Reuters has a preview. Today, the court declined to take up two reproductive cases, one regarding the Biden administration’s efforts to require Texas hospitals to perform abortions to stabilize a patient's emergency medical condition and a wrongful death claim against an Alabama fertility clinic that allegedly destroyed a couple's frozen embryo. On Friday, the court added more than a dozen cases to its docket, including a challenge to Mexico's lawsuit against American gun companies, a death row inmate's DNA testing case, a nuclear waste storage dispute and a case that will decide if white, straight workers face a higher bar in bias lawsuits.
