Welcome to Supreme Court Brief and the second day of the new term. The justices will hear arguments in three major Title VII cases asking whether the law bars discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. The Buckley Beal partner who shepherded one of those cases to the high court spoke with us recently. Plus: On its Monday orders list, the justices granted a rare non-party intervention motion in a case in which the U.S. Justice Department abandoned the EEOC’s litigating position. And former Obama Solicitor General Donald Verrilli Jr. is making the case against high court review of a victory by the families of the Sandy Hook school shootings against Remington Arms.
