Supreme Court gears up for new term with major cases on climate change, guns
The Supreme Court kicks off its term Monday with cases involving climate change, President Trump's immigration policies and the Second Amendment among the most high-profile disputes.
The Supreme Court is set to convene on Monday for its new term, which begins on October 5th. Several high-profile cases are expected to be argued before the justices, including those involving climate change, religious liberty, and President Trump's immigration policies.
One of the key cases to be heard on the first day of the term concerns a lawsuit filed by the city and county of Boulder, Colorado, against energy companies Suncor Energy and Exxon Mobil. The plaintiffs seek to hold the energy companies accountable for the negative effects of global climate change through lawsuits filed in state court. If the Supreme Court rules in favor of the energy companies, it could block Boulder's lawsuit and potentially prevent similar lawsuits from moving forward.
