posted on October 2, 2017The Associated Press’s Mark Sherman reports, “Disputes over a wedding cake for a same-sex couple and partisan electoral maps top the Supreme Court’s agenda in the first full term of the Trump presidency.” The new term includes conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch, President Trump’s Supreme Court pick. Sherman adds, “The justices will hear important cases that touch on gay rights and religious freedoms, the polarized American electorate, the government’s ability to track people without search warrants, employees’ rights to band together over workplace disputes and states’ rights to allow betting on professional and college sporting events.”
