The Supreme Court faces another term jam-packed with controversy
The Supreme Court term opens on Monday with big test cases on religion, guns and climate change.
Plus, the emergency docket keeps popping. Bloomberg Supreme Court Reporter Greg Stohr is on Bloomberg This Weekend previewing a new term shaped by the courtโs growing emergency docket and a major climate case over whether Boulder, Colorado, can pursue state-law claims against oil companies.
Speaking with hosts David Gura and Christina Ruffini, Stohr says Justice Samuel Alitoโs recusal creates the possibility of a 4-4 split and discusses renewed questions about Supreme Court ethics, potential changes to the court and Alitoโs eventual ret.
