Guns, A Wealth Tax And War On Regulators: What We’re Watching On SCOTUS’s Docket Next Term

United States v. Rahimi

The Supreme Court will hear a case concerning whether a federal gun ban for those under domestic violence orders 

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau v. Community Financial Services Association of America 

At the urging of the Biden administration (though a term later than it asked for), the Court will hear a case that represents a fundamental threat to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), the brainchild of now-Sen.
