A couple of weeks ago, I linked here to several similar articles published elsewhere.

“New Court Term Begins Monday”: Mark Sherman of The Associated Press has a report that begins, “The Supreme Court is set to begin a term that could lead to enhanced rights for terrorism detainees, a ruling against part of a child pornography law and shorter prison terms for crack cocaine dealers.

“Judges evaluate an argument on gun access”: At “SCOTUSblog,” Lyle Denniston has a post that begins, “In a highly unusual order, two judges of the D.C. Circuit Court appeared to have narrowed a major gun control ruling, and in doing so gave their view on a central argument the District of Columbia government has made in its Supreme Court appeal seeking to enforce its flat ban on handguns in Washington, D.C.”

On Thursday, Eugene Volokh had a post at “The Volokh Conspiracy” quoting at length from the D.C. Circuit‘s order. You can view the full text of the order at this link.
