The U.S. Supreme Court resumes next Monday for another two weeks of oral arguments in some significant cases, including one on the Second Amendment.
The country’s high court has already begun hearing oral arguments of some cases on hot-button issues in the midst of what is widely viewed as a historic term. Earlier this month, the court heard the case for the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. The court also heard arguments for the case on the deportation of lawful permanent residents convicted of felonies, and one on whether the Civil Rights Act of 1964, a federal law that bans discrimination based on “sex,” applies in cases that involve the firing of a gay male employee.
