CERTIORARI -- SUMMARY DISPOSITION 24-1099 SMITH, KYLE, ET AL. V. SCOTT, ROCHELLE, ET AL. The petition for a writ of certiorari is granted. The judgment is vacated, and the case is remanded to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit for further consideration in light of Zorn v. Linton, 607 U. S. ___ (2026) (per curiam). Justice Sotomayor, Justice Kagan, and Justice Jackson would deny the petition for a writ of certiorari.

I grew up Southern Baptist in rural Alabama. What I was 16, I read the Bible. And then I started to wonder whether anybody else had.

Alabama just mandated the Ten Commandments in public schools. Then the president broke the first one on Truth Social.

You don’t have to be part of that.

Romney is 79. I think most voters would prefer someone younger. And speaking as a democrat, I hope most voters want to get the republicans out.
