Sidebar: Big oil, AR-15s and the right to vote hit SCOTUS

A legal podcast previews the new Supreme Court term, flagging three major cases: a Boulder County suit seeking to hold Exxon and Suncor liable for climate costs, a Second Amendment challenge to state and local AR-15-style rifle bans, and an Arizona case testing whether the state can require proof of citizenship for voter registration and purge rolls before an election.

The episode frames all three as tests of how far the current court will go in reshaping climate liability, gun regulation, and voting access. No rulings have been issued; this is a curtain-raiser, not a verdict.
