U.S. Supreme Court kicks off new term, with Justice Thomas absent
In remarks from the bench before the first argument, Chief Justice John Roberts said Thomas, the court’s longest-serving justice, was “indisposed” due to illness but would still participate in deciding the three cases.

Is this being done to test the legitimacy of RGB deciding cases while not present? I can’t help but wonder if there is more to this than Thomas actually being ill.
I’m waiting to see the derps make some sort of stink about this and then watching it backfire on them.
Or maybe he’s actually truly not feeling well.
Prayers up for Justice Thomas.
Also this:
In another action of note, the court said it would go ahead and hear a challenge to New York City restrictions on handgun owners transporting their firearms outside the home.
The city had argued over the summer that because the measure - challenged by gun owners and the state’s National Rifle Association affiliate - was recently amended, the case before the justices was moot and there was no reason for the Supreme Court to hear the matter.
The justices in a brief order said they would consider that argument when they hear the case on Dec. 2, leaving open the possibility they will toss the case later.
derps backpedaling to avoid a SCOTUS ruling?
