The Supreme Court returns from its summer recess in October facing a docket packed with politically charged cases, including challenges to gun regulations, medical marijuana use, and gender transition procedures for minors. The court will also grapple with pressure for ethical reforms and term limits.

Last term, the court decided a series of politically charged cases like former President Trump's presidential immunity case, a challenge to the government's regulation of the abortion pill and free speech in the digital age.

The law passed in 2023 sets requirements for any commercial website where more than one-third of its content is 'sexual material harmful to minors.
