Welcome to Supreme Court Brief. The justices are back on the bench for the first time in the new year. This morning they take up a law critical to employers and employees—ERISA. We look at the players and what’s at stake. The January argument session continues with a trend of few female advocates appearing at the lectern, but the session is rich with former Supreme Court clerks. Scroll down for headlines, including reporting on the Justice Department asking the court not to rush its consideration of the big Fifth Circuit Obamacare case.
