YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAs public support of the conservative-dominated Supreme Court falls to a record low, justices are set to hear major cases on affirmative action, voting rights and online speech. The court opened its term Monday with new Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson becoming the first Black woman in U.S. history to hear a Supreme Court case.

He adds that the term ahead includes challenges to Native American sovereignty, voting rights, LGBT rights and more.
