The Supreme Court is returning to a new term to take up some familiar topics — guns and abortion — and concerns about ethics swirling around the justices.

The year also will have a heavy focus on social media and how free speech protections apply online. A big unknown is whether the court will be asked to weigh in on any aspect of the criminal cases against former President Donald Trump and others or efforts in some states to keep the Republican off the 2024 presidential ballot because of his role in trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election that he lost to Democrat Joe Biden.

Lower-profile but vitally important, several cases in the term that begins Monday ask the justices to constrict the power of regulatory agencies.

      Nope this is the year they dismantle everything just in time for Trump to overthrow our government. We need to impeach and remove all traitors from our government. When do we say enough is enough and bring out the Guillotines, Pitchforks, and Torches?

          Yeah hard to do that when almost half the country is begging for the dictatorship and loving the boot on their neck.

            That still leaves more than half that don’t.

            Yet there don’t seem to be organizations seriously preparing for the end of democracy.

            I suspect it’s because anyone that was serious would be infiltrated by law enforcement.

              The US has withstood vastly harder times than this. We are hardly at the ‘end of democracy’.

                It’s not the 1800s anymore, everything happens a lot faster these days.

                And going from “contested election” to “civil war” wouldn’t take long at all.
