The Supreme Court seems a bit quieter than in recent years, as the justices begin a new term.
Major cases await, as they always do, including several challenges to regulatory agencies and efforts to regulate social media platforms.
Ethical issues also are hovering over the court, with the possibility that the justices could adopt a first-ever code of conduct. But it's unclear when that might happen.The justices' decision in June 2022 on guns altered how courts are supposed to evaluate restrictions on firearms. Since then, a federal law aimed at keeping guns away from people facing domestic violence restraining orders has been struck down by a lower court.
The issue has vexed the justices for several months, over a series of stories questioning the ethical practices of the justices. Many of those stories focused on Justice Clarence Thomas and his failure to disclose travel and other financial ties with wealthy conservative donors, including Harlan Crow and the Koch brothers. But Justices Samuel Alito and Sonia Sotomayor also have been under scrutiny.
“There are, you know, totally good-faith disagreements or concerns, if you will. There are some things to be worked out.

The court already has agreed to hear a case in which a man tried to trademark a phrase mocking Trump as “too small.”
