The new Supreme Court session will begin, as it always does, on the first Monday in October. As the justices take their seats come October 7, they will do so with ever fewer Americans impressed by the black robes, the Vatican-like intrigues taking place in the marble redoubt on First Street, the authoritative tone of increasingly partisan decisions that are almost impossible to reverse, no matter how infuriating or inexplicable.

Most people know at least one of the ballot questions voters will decide this fall, because it’s been something of a dividing line between Republicans and Democrats. It asks voters if they want to solidify abortion rights in the state Constitution.

Clark County School District officials have kept mum in the wake of the Clark County District Attorney’s Office’s Wednesday letter to Trustee Katie Williams asking her to voluntarily vacate her seat after finding she is no longer a resident of Nevada. The letter asked Williams to confirm no later than Monday her intention to voluntarily vacate her seat. If not, the office said it is prepared to commence legal proceedings to declare her seat vacant.

A University of Nevada-Las Vegas law professor said the conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court has issued major decisions, dramatically changing the country's legal landscape.

Attorney General Merrick Garland’s appearance before the House Judiciary Committee Tuesday comes amidst criticism from Republicans for refusing to hand over audiotapes of President Joe Biden’s interviews with Special Counsel Robert Hur after Biden invoked executive privilege to keep them private. A House committee has already found Garland in contempt for withholding the tapes and a full House vote could come soon.

Nearly two years after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and removed federal abortion protections, a legal chess game is taking place among states. Since Roe v Wade was overturned, nearly half of states in the U.S.imposed abortion restrictions.

Even though the US Supreme Court will decide later this spring whether presidents possess absolute immunity from criminal charges, New York Judge Juan Merchan properly rejected former President Donald Trump’s claim of immunity to delay his impending hush money payments trial.
