Gorsuch Dives In as New Justice Voices on Court
Justice Neil Gorsuch quickly spoke during his first Supreme Court session, asking questions on federal statutes and echoing Justice Scalia. He mixed humor and humility, seated to the left of Chief Justice Roberts as nine justices presided. The session included dense debates over which federal employees sue for discrimination and featured light exchanges with lawyers and fellow justices. The nine justices remained on the bench as cases move toward a decision by June.

Church state case tests faith funding limits on playground aid
The Supreme Court will hear Trinity Lutheran Church of Columbia Missouri challenge to a state program funding rubberized playground surfaces from recycled tires. The church argues the exclusion violates religious freedoms and questions the divide between church and state as Missouri contemplates allowing religious groups to receive taxpayer dollars. If the court sides with the church it could affect many school choice programs across states and potentially shift the balance on vouchers and public aid for private religious schools.

Supreme Court weighs limits on SEC disgorgement profits
The High Court signaled support for a five year statute of limitations on recovering ill gotten gains in securities fraud. Justices questioned whether the SEC can seek profits from cases spanning back years or decades, a move that could trim large payouts including Kokesh 35 million. The term also covered a Goodyear rubber fee ruling and refugee deportation appeals, with mixed outcomes and guidance for lower courts.
