What's on the Supreme Court's agenda ahead of the new term.
Supreme Court begins new term: Five issues to watch
By Zach Schonfeld, Ella Lee
The Supreme Court will return to the bench Monday to start its new term, where battles over transgender rights, guns and adult website use are already brewing. So far, the court has agreed to review 43 appeals, with decisions expected by summer. Although court watchers have called the upcoming term sleepier than others in recent memory, the justices are still poised to issue key rulings, and additional cases are expected to be added to their docket this fall.
One Big Decision Awaits the Supreme Court
New York Times By Linda Greenhouse
The most important decision the Supreme Court's justices will make in the new term that begins on Monday transcends the questions presented in any of its many cases. It is whether the court will resume or refrain from injecting itself into the country's culture wars.

Bruised Supreme Court Returns to Bench With Possible Election Cases Looming
New York Times by Adam Liptak
The new Supreme Court term, which starts as the justices return to the bench on Monday, already features cases on transgender rights, untraceable "ghost guns" and whether Mexico may sue American firearms manufacturers. The coming months may also bring voting disputes that could decide the presidential election.
Porn sites. Ghost guns. Transgender rights. The Supreme Court gets back to work
USA Today By Maureen Groppe
The Supreme Court returns Monday to tackle a slew of politically charged issues: gun regulation, gender-affirming care for minors and whether adults can be required to provide IDs to access pornographic websites. But the justices may also be pulled more directly into politics through election-related challenges both before and after the Nov. 5 election.
The Supreme Court Is Waiting Until After the Election to Do Its Next Damage
Slate By Dahlia Lithwick
The first Monday of October is the traditional start of the Supreme Court docket-harvest festival, when a handful of cases are plucked by the justices to be argued before the highest court in the land and previewed by a deferential press corps. That was the tradition, at least.
