Supreme Court Justices Barrett and Sotomayor, ideological opposites, unite to promote civility
WASHINGTON (AP) — With the Supreme Court’s approval hovering near record lows, two justices have teamed up to promote the art of disagreeing without being nasty about it. In joint appearances less than three weeks apart, Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Sonia Sotomayor, ideological opposites, said the need for civil debate has never been greater than it is in these polarized times.

Trump's fate and an obscure section of the Constitution collide at Supreme Court
From civil rights to privacy, the 14th Amendment has been a foundation for forging the norms of American law and democracy. But one of its provisions, adopted after the Civil War in 1868, has gotten almost no attention until now: That's Section 3, the part that's meant to keep former officeholders who "engaged in insurrection" from ever regaining power. The Supreme Court on Thursday will be taking its first look at the insurrection clause in a case in which the stakes couldn't be higher.
