Here are 5 important cases to watch as the new term begins.The Supreme Court returns to the bench on Monday with a number of explosive and high-profile cases on the docket.
From abortion to gun laws, the politically divisive cases will illuminate whether or not the court's expanded 6-3 conservative majority decides to dramatically shift the country to the right.
"They're the cases that will tell us the most of how quickly and how much the court moves in a more conservative direction," Lawrence Baum, a professor emeritus at Ohio State University whose expertise is the federal judiciary, told Insider.

The session kicks off as the court faces all-time low public approval ratings, with a handful of the justices - Stephen Breyer, Amy Coney Barrett, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito - attempting to defend the court's legitimacy and independence.

A while back, I gave my opinion on how the court would rule in a gun case, which was for the Republicans, and was yelled at that we cant know and should not make guesses on how they will rule.
I have no doubt that same poster will come yell at you for doing the same.

People die from guns each year. 6 in every 10 of those deaths are suicides.

right before the 2022 midterms?

The term ends in June, so the latest the decisions will come by is late June, 2022. Not exactly right before, but fairly close.

from a bunch of people.
