Good morning and welcome to Supreme Court Brief. The justices’ mid-term break is coming to an end. They will be back on the bench for February arguments after Monday’s holiday. Civil and human rights groups recently urged Attorney General Merrick Garland and U.S. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar to repudiate the Insular Cases. We take a look at their plea. An eight-year-long effort to hold gunmaker Remington accountable for the 2012 Sandy Hook killings ended in settlement. Munger Tolles’ Don Verrilli recounts his team’s role in holding off Supreme Court review in that case. And scroll down for some thoughts on what may happen if the justices don’t overrule Roe v. Wade.
Thanks for reading. We welcome feedback and tips. Contact Marcia Coyle at [email protected] and follow her on Twitter @MarciaCoyle.
