Good morning and welcome to Supreme Court Brief. Delivering four opinions this week, the justices picked up their pace. They also set up next term as a potential blockbuster by adding an abortion challenge to the docket along with the earlier grant of a Second Amendment challenge. We take a look at a petition asking the court to revisit New York Times v. Sullivan, a decision Justice Thomas has recently questioned. Plus: Larry Flynt’s FBI file has some high court-related items befitting the late Hustler publisher. Scroll down for the latest headlines about Justices Breyer, Kagan, Kavanaugh and Thomas. Thanks for reading and your feedback is welcome and appreciated. Contact Marcia Coyle at [email protected] and follow her on Twitter @MarciaCoyle.
