The Supreme Court heard oral argument in NRA v. Vullo, a case on whether a former New York regulator violated the NRA's free speech rights by threatening companies that do business with them. In 2017, Maria Vullo, the then superintendent of the Department of Financial Services investigated the NRA-endorsed Carry Guard affinity insurance program. This program, underwritten and administered by third parties, covered members' financial losses and if needed, criminal defense costs from use of a licensed firearm. The investigation concluded it violated state law. In February 2018 following a deadly Florida school shooting, Ms. Vullo met with companies urging them to end or rethink their ties with the gun group. AIG and other companies, including the ones associated with the Carry Guard program severed or reduced ties with the NRA.

The Supreme Court heard oral argument in Ohio v. EPA, a case consolidated with three others concerning the EPA's authority to establish national air quality standards. In 2015, the EPA made changes to the National Ambient Air Quality Standard for Ozone. Under the Clean Air Act's "good neighbor" provision states have three years to respond with their own plan for implementation and compliance. The EPA rejected more than 20 states' plans. They then proposed their own federal "Good Neighbor Plan" which became effective August 4, 2023. Several states and industries filed suits challenging the new federal plan arguing it violates the Administrative Procedure Act. They asked a federal court to stay the "Good Neighbor Plan" while the case moved through the legal system. The stay was denied, and the parties appealed to the Supreme Court. The justices now have through June 2024 to issue a ruling.

The Supreme Court heard oral argument in a case challenging a new tax under a Trump-era law. In 2005, Charles Moore, the petitioner in this case, invested in KisanKraft, a business based in India. The company is a controlled foreign corporation meaning 50% or more of it is owned by Americans. Mr. Moore and his wife invested $40,000 and in turn received 11% of the company's shares. Through the years, there was considerable company growth but the Moores didn't have to pay taxes on the earnings from it. This changed with the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which has a one-time, Mandatory Repatriation Tax (MRT) on earnings from controlled foreign corporations. The Moores argued the new tax violated the 16th Amendment because it taxed unrealized earnings. Congress and the federal government were monitoring this case closely because a ruling could impact future tax policy. Also on the line is more than $330 billion in tax revenue expected to be generated from the provision. The Supreme Court has

Can the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) regulate bump stocks like machine guns, which are illegal and banned under federal law? That's what the Supreme Court is considering after hearing arguments from both sides for more than an hour in Garland v. Cargil. The Trump administration enacted a bump stock ban in 2018. The action was in response to a 2017 mass shooting in Las Vegas during a music festival. The gunman used a bump stock with his rifle to kill 58 people and wounded more than 400 others. This was the United States' deadliest mass shooting in history. Shortly after the ban's enactment, Michael Cargill, an owner of two bump stocks, filed suit. After multiple rounds of going through the lower courts, the Supreme Court now has through June 2024 to issue a ruling.
