As the Senate impeachment trial continues, Chief Justice John Roberts is delicately navigating his role as the presiding officer.

At Wednesday's arguments, a majority of the justices suggested a major expansion of public funding for parochial schools.

The Supreme Court heard arguments Wednesday in a case from Montana where state law bars taxpayer funding for religious private schools.

For the first time, the high court will rule on "no-aid" state constitutional provisions that conservative religious groups and school choice advocates have long sought to invalidate.

At issue are state attempts to penalize Electoral College delegates who fail to vote for the presidential candidate they were pledged to support.

The text of a federal law requires all federal government personnel decisions to be made "free from age discrimination." But just what does that mean?

The Supreme Court heard arguments Wednesday in a case that asks what federal employees must prove to bring an age-discrimination suit under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act.

The closure in 2013 of access lanes to the George Washington Bridge infuriated motorists and jeopardized public safety. When it turned out it was a political vendetta, it became a criminal case.

The Supreme Court heard arguments Tuesday in the "Bridgegate" case. The high court's ruling on the New Jersey scandal could prove more consequential if criminal convictions are thrown out.

The "Bridgegate" scandal infuriated motorists and endangered public safety, but if the past is prologue, the high court could treat it as much ado about nothing.

While some envision a major role for the Supreme Court's chief justice, modern precedent would suggest otherwise.

Chief Justice John Roberts will preside over President Trump's impeachment trial in the Senate. But his role in the process is limited — as seen during the last presidential impeachment trial.

Twenty-one years ago, GOP Majority Leader Trent Lott worked with his Democratic counterpart, Tom Daschle, to preserve the idea of the Senate as an impartial jury in the president's impeachment trial.

We look at what happened the last time an American president faced a Senate trial after impeachment.

The decision sets the stage for a battle over whether a president can defy congressional and grand jury subpoena power.

The justices seemed sympathetic to $12 billion in insurance firms' claims. The Affordable Care Act promised to partially reimburse insurers if they lost money due to people's preexisting conditions.

The Supreme Court hears argument on Tuesday in a case in which insurance companies are suing the Trump administration over the removal of a subsidy they were paid to cover high-risk individuals.

The Nixon impeachment was a bipartisan affair; President Clinton's impeachment was less so. But in the Trump era, getting bipartisan support for the move is virtually impossible.

As the nation prepares for impeachment proceedings, we look back at how lawmakers drafted articles of impeachment during the Nixon and Clinton presidencies, times of greater bi-partisanship.

At issue was a New York City law that allowed residents to have a permit for a gun at home but barred them from transporting the gun elsewhere except to seven shooting ranges inside the city.
