The Supreme Court is slated to hear arguments over controversial abortion and gun laws in a jam-packed week at the high court.
The court will scrutinize Texas’ abortion law, S.B. 8, that effectively bans the procedure, in back-to-back arguments on Nov. 1 that will feature Elizabeth Prelogar’s first appearance for the federal government since being confirmed solicitor general Oct. 28.
Two days later, the justices will hear the biggest Second Amendment case in a decade in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen. The court will probe the state’s strict concealed-carry regime and, more broadly, how the gun right identified in prior precedents applies outside the home.
In between those arguments, on Nov. 2, the court will hear First Amendment and arbitration cases.
