The Supreme Court begins its new term Monday with 8 justices. And with a challenge to the ACA expected to be argued a week after the election, it could become apparent fast just how far right the court will move if Amy Coney Barrett is confirmed.

The Supreme Court, which begins its new term Monday, is confronting cases related to the election, the Affordable Care Act and religious rights, among others.The Supreme Court, which begins its new term Monday, is confronting cases related to the election, the Affordable Care Act and religious rights, among others.The U.S. Supreme Court opens a new court term Monday, while across the street at the Capitol, Republicans are seeking to jam through, before the Nov.

Regardless of what is happening in the Senate, the Supreme Court is carrying on in its usual stately fashion. The court is an institution built on tradition, and the traditional opening day of the term is the first Monday of October.This time, however, there will be just eight justices, not the usual nine, and because of COVID-19, once again the justices will gather by telephone hookup to hear the lawyers make their arguments.

Despite that"institutionalist streak," with Ginsburg's death and her replacement by the very conservative Barrett, Roberts may well have lost his leverage, observes University of Michigan law professor Nicholas Bagley. Trump's newest supreme court nominee, Barrett, has been highly critical of Chief Justice Roberts' reasoning in the previous Obamacare cases.

There is, he adds,"an air of surreality" around the current case. Indeed, sources say that top Justice Department officials tried and failed to talk Trump out of bringing the case. "Lurking in the background is the possibility that this could become the most tumultuous and divisive term since the Supreme Court decided," says Irv Gornstein, director of the Supreme Court Institute at the Georgetown University Law Center.

Have you ever been concerned with how far left the court will move when Dems are president?

ObamaCare devastated the average American where coverage plummeted while premiums soared. It's a nightmare, get rid of it whole cloth.

hereandnow Why is an impeached President allowed to nominate judges?

Goodbye ACA!

The Constitution isn't right wing

The Left's days of judicial activism are numbered.

Some Senator needs to ask Amy Coney Barrett about the 'prudence' part of the term jurisprudence. She clearly was willing to set aside the natural law to appease Trump's political will. Will she set aside the law of the nation in the same way?

Barrett was selected for being willing to disregard the law and provide a false legitimacy to Trump & Republicans. Abortion & healthcare are just ways to pander to their myopic base. Trump doesn’t give a damn about abortion, and only wants to kill ACA out of spite & jealousy.

If the ACA is repealed, I will die. That's a fact. I am getting medical help now that I cannot afford without it. Without that help, I will die. Repealing is murder and no one can change my mind.

I believe The Chief Justice may have the option to postpone this vote/decision till their next session. (?)

It might just work

Amy Coney Barrett gave donations, & made paid speeches, to hate groups. This is the modern GOP. it's a hate group. it's a cult

Good. The ACA is a disaster and needs to be done away with.

Sadly, the whole notion of needing to care deeply about there being 8 justices reveals the deepest problem with SCOTUS - we all have a sense how political appoints will vote prior to cases being heard. Rs have made it another legislative chamber. Dems must re-balance the court.

They current SCOTUS is trying to undercut Obergefell

Supreme Court begins new term as election battle loomsThe U.S. Supreme Court begins a new term on Monday amidst a raging political battle over an open seat and a high-stakes push by President Donald Trump to have the justices adjudicate a possible contested election. Judge Barrett, GOP Senators who've tested positive for COVID (as a result of your WH intro for SCOTUS) have Congressional health insurance for preexisting conditions while you, if confirmed, will vote against the ACA, denying this coverage to millions of Americans. Uncool, Judge. Sorry communists, Trump will save our Republic. “They'll address matters of health insurance, use of force by police, military rape claims, religious freedom, grand jury secrecy, robocalls and faith-based foster care.”
