Welcome to Supreme Court Brief. This morning we try to answer the question: What’s going on with Kansas? The state has three cases in the new term so far.

Thanks for reading, and feedback is always welcome and appreciated. Contact us at [email protected] and [email protected], and follow us on Twitter at @Tonymauro and @MarciaCoyle.
