The U.S. Supreme Court begins its new term on Monday, facing significant cases related to guns and transgender rights, among others. This follows a previous term marked by a controversial ruling on Donald Trump's immunity from prosecution. The court, with a 6-3 conservative majority, is under close watch from politicians and the public. Concerns include ongoing ethics issues and unresolved leaks of confidential information. As the court resumes, it may also address legal disputes stemming from the upcoming presidential election on November 5.
