Quick Glance: Scandal: Ginni Thomas Receives Illegal Payments Ahead of Key Voting Rights Case
- The US Supreme Court, and in particular Justice Clarence Thomas and his wife Ginni, are once again facing scrutiny over alleged illegal behavior. According to reports, Ginni received payments of tens of thousands of dollars from a right-wing organization shortly before a pivotal voting rights case.
- Months later, the Judicial Education Project filed an amicus brief in the case Shelby County v. Holder, opposing a key provision in the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
- Leo emphasized that the paperwork should contain no mention of Ginni.
- "Each day that passes, the Supreme Court is looking less like a court and more like an auction house." - Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Quick Glance: The Supreme Court overturns lower court orders that limit abortion medicines.
- Abortion rights and anti-abortion groups demonstrate outside the Supreme Court building.
- The Supreme Court temporarily barred lower court orders imposing restrictions on the widely used abortion drug mifepristone on Friday, maintaining the status quo for the most frequent kind of medical abortion while a legal challenge to the Food and Drug Administration's jurisdiction is resolved.
- Between the lines: The decision on Friday came less than a year after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
- Wade, in which the justices argued that the high court lacked the jurisdiction to define national abortion policy.
