The Supreme Court is back and ready to ruin your weekend plans

Original version ·

Buckle up, because the highest court in the land is diving headfirst back into the culture war trenches.

The Supreme Court just kicked off a new term, and they’ve skipped the small talk. We’re talking about a lineup that includes religion, gun control, and climate change. It’s basically a greatest hits collection of everything people love to fight about on the internet.

The so-called shadow docket is also still very much a thing, meaning we’ll likely get more high-stakes rulings served at midnight without much explanation. It’s a masterclass in making sure no one actually gets a good night's sleep.

Politics is just reality TV for people who enjoy high blood pressure.
