Justices take up “false statement” dispute and rare capital case

By Amy Howe on Oct. 4 at 11:44 a.m.

The court on Friday added 15 new cases to their docket out of Monday’s “long conference,” the first time the justices officially met to discuss petitions since early July. The added cases include a dispute involving a member of one of Chicago’s most prominent political dynasties, a relatively rare capital case, and Mexico’s lawsuit against U.S. gun manufacturers.

Supreme Court to decide if Oklahoma must execute Richard Glossip

By Amy Howe on Oct. 5 at 12:18 p.m.

On Oct. 9, the court will hear oral argument in Richard Glossip’s bid for a new trial in the case that put him on death row nearly three decades ago. Glossip, who has maintained he is innocent, is joined by the state that once prosecuted him in arguing that suppressed evidence at his trial violated his rights. But Oklahoma’s top criminal court says Glossip’s execution must go forward.

CASE PREVIEW

Justices to hear challenge to regulation of unserialized ‘ghost guns’

By Amy Howe on Oct. 2 at 5:35 p.m.

At oral argument on Tuesday the court will examine a challenge to a 2022 federal rule that seeks to regulating unserialized guns assembled by a user from parts – known as ghost guns – that can be bought anonymously and without a background check. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives says the rule was implemented not to ban ghost guns but to regulate them, as traditional gun sales are, under the 1968 Gun Control Act.

Supreme Court declines to block EPA methane, mercury rules

By Amy Howe on Oct. 4 at 1:24 p.m.

The court declined to put on hold federal air pollution rules that the Biden administration put in place earlier this year to curb hazardous air pollutants and planet-warming methane emissions. Republican-led states and industry groups said the rules overburdened power plants. The justices did not explain their decision to deny the requests.
