Supreme Court To Take Up Trans Rights, Ghost Guns in New Term

The Supreme Court kicked off its new term Monday by opting not take up two cases that could have major implications for reproductive rights. In one decision, the court rejected an appeal from an Alabama fertility clinic seeking to avoid a wrongful death lawsuit over the destruction of a couple’s embryos. The other case it rejected was an appeal from the Biden administration over emergency abortions in Texas. With issues like trans rights, ghost guns and the potential for more election cases on the docket this term, Melissa Murray, co-host of Crooked's ‘Strict Scrutiny,’ breaks down what we can expect from the justices in the coming months.

And in headlines: Forecasters upgraded Hurricane Milton to a Category 5 storm as it barrels toward Florida’s Gulf Coast, Vice President Kamala Harris reflected on the one-year anniversary of Hamas’ attack on Israel, and Georgia’s top court revived the state’s six-week abortion ban.
