The Supreme Court returns to its bench Monday with an agenda that includes cases on guns, pornography and transgender medical care, as the justices brace for a slew of last-minute election fights and a new presidential administration that could drag the court deeper into politics.

Let’s be clear, the Supreme Court is our highest court, and you’ve done so much good work writing about it and making sure people understand the stakes, but there are other courts across the country.
