First seen on the SCOTUSblog & Briefly on Feb 27, 2026

SCOTUSblog is thrilled to introduce the first in a series of animated videos, done in partnership with Briefly, on some of the most important upcoming cases of the 2025-26 term. Today’s video is an introduction to United States v. Hemani, to be argued on Monday, March 2, which asks whether an unlawful user of any controlled substance may be prohibited from possessing a gun under the Second Amendment. Although the video speaks for itself, it provides a one-of-a-kind introduction to this case and the important (and difficult) questions that it raises.
