A case from New York could expand gun rights in the United States and involves the right to carry a firearm in public. And parents in Maine are suing over the state’s exclusion of religious schools from a tuition program for families who live in towns that don’t have public schools.

The Biden administration is trying to have the death sentence reinstated in the Boston Marathon bombing case.
