We’re Supreme Court reporters covering the upcoming term with abortion, guns, and religion on the docket. AMA!

Posted: 01 Oct 2021 08:27 AM PDT

The Supreme Court is gearing up for a monumental term next week, with abortion, guns, and religion on the docket and affirmative action not far behind. The death-penalty case of one of the Boston Marathon bombers, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, will be argued in the first month of the new term, which kicks off Oct. 4. The justices come back to work (in the courtroom, with Covid precautions) as their public-approval rating has tanked against the backdrop of calls from the left to add seats to the 6-3 Republican-appointee dominated tribunal. And just this morning, we found out Justice Kavanaugh tested positive for Covid-19 yesterday. There's a lot happening.

Answering questions today from Bloomberg Law:

  • Jordan Rubin: I've been keeping a close eye on criminal justice cases in particular since joining Bloomberg Law in 2017. Before that, I was a prosecutor for five years at the Manhattan DA's office.

  • Kimberly Robinson: I've been a reporter with Bloomberg Law for the past eight years, where I've covered hot-button issues like abortion, immigration, and LGBT rights. Before that, I worked as an associate at Morrison & Foerster LLP. I'll be in the room during all live arguments.

So tell us, what do you want to know about the upcoming term?
