On February 20, 2024, the Supreme Court denied certiorari in a closely watched case, Coalition for TJ v. Fairfax County School Board, challenging the admissions policies of Thomas.
Justice Alito wrote a strong dissent to denial of certiorari. The issues the case raises are likely to recur. In the meantime, the lower court ruling in the case sets a dangerous precedent.
The US Supreme Court will not take up a case involving a challenge to North Carolina’s so-called “ag-gag” law. That means an appellate court decision will stand banning that law’s application to “newsgathering” operations by animal rights activists.
The nation’s highest court will consider Tuesday a pair of petitions related to a legal dispute surrounding North Carolina’s “ag-gag law.” Both state Attorney General Josh Stein and the North Carolina Farm Bureau Federation have asked the court to take the case in its upcoming term.
