Scott Applewhite, File)WASHINGTON – A possible expansion of gun rights is on the Supreme Court's agenda, days after mass shootings in Colorado and Georgia. The appeal comes from New York, which gun rights groups say is among eight states that make it difficult if not virtually impossible for people to get permits to carry guns in public.

Trump loyalists have filed at least 15 legal challenges in Pennsylvania alone in an effort to reclaim the state’s 20 electoral votes. In court, his lawyers must walk a precarious line between advocating for their client and upholding their professional oath. “There’s a nonzero number of people in the room,” campaign lawyer Jerome Marcus replied. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., insists the president is “100% within his rights" to look into fraud allegations and pursue his legal options.

Yes, the Trump administration is asking the high court to throw out the Obama-era healthcare law, and if she is confirmed quickly Barrett could be on the Supreme Court when the court hears the case. Democrats also repeatedly brought up words Barrett wrote in 2017, when she was a law professor, criticizing Chief Justice John Roberts' 2012 opinion saving the Affordable Care Act. Barrett wrote that Roberts had "pushed the Affordable Care Act beyond its plausible meaning to save the statute." But the court could simply “sever” the mandate from the law and leave the rest of the law alone. One other key observer of the case suggested the Affordable Care Act would likely stand.

The nomination to replace Chief Justice Earl Warren failed in that turbulent year, and no justice has retired in an election year since. Charles Cooper, who argued the S&Ls' case at the Supreme Court, recalled that a resolution was urgently needed because scores of copy-cat cases had been clogging" court dockets for years. When Burger was chief justice, from 1969 to 1986, the court routinely kept working into July, even past Independence Day.
