The latest term of the U.S. Supreme Court will include blockbuster cases on two of the most contentious topics in American life: abortion and gun rights.
The cases come at a time when the court has a majority of Republican appointees and as it battles accusations of politicization.

Guest: Adam Liptak, a reporter covering the United States Supreme Court for The New York Times.
