On the recordOctober 4, 2021
today is the first Monday in October. It is the date that marks the start of a new term for the U.S. Supreme Court. All indications are this term will be of major consequence. The Court has chosen to take up a number of cases that have the potential to dramatically change America as we know it. For example, the Court has decided to hear cases in which it is being asked to overturn Roe v. Wade, as well as strike down State laws regarding the carrying of weapons in public places. These are among the momentous issues on the Court's first term. Madam President, I would yield the floor to the leader.
