SCOTUS

In May, a draft of the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade was leaked. This was not the first time a Supreme Court decision was leaked to the public.
Health

HIPAA applies to covered entities, like health care providers that conduct electronic transactions, but not most of the period-tracking apps found in an app store.
SCOTUS

SCOTUS
No, Supreme Court justices didn’t say the U.S. needs a ‘domestic supply of infants’ for adoption

Government
Yes, Congress could pass a federal law that supersedes a Supreme Court ruling
If Congress passes a law that supersedes a Supreme Court ruling, the Supreme Court could later deem that law unconstitutional and strike it down.
SCOTUS
No, SCOTUS ruling does not overturn all state restrictions on concealed carry
