SCOTUS CALENDAR

The new term for the Supreme Court just fired up this week.  They are, as usual, looking at some interesting and important stuff.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which is funded directly by the federal reserve and not by congress, is coming under scrutiny.  This funding mechanism is being questioned before the court.

The ability of the states to prevent people with domestic violence restraining orders from having firearms legally is also under review.

The court is also looking at internal issues, specifically an ethics code.

It is possible that the court will also dive in to some of Trump's problems, specifically whether or not states can keep him off the ballot in 2024 simply because they don't like him and pretend that his roll in protesting the outcome of the 2020 election makes him legally ineligible to be president.  

States attempts to limit the availability of Mifepristone, an abortion inducting drug, is also under review.
