Because of the shortage, grocery stores are now limiting the amount of eggs customers can buy. READ THE FULL STORY AT CBS 11 NEWS

They said they feel like they are being harassed because there are houses on their street with far more decorated displays. “There are other neighbors with more Christmas lights just on the same block … it blew my mind that it was us that they were targeting,” Joshua Montgomery said.

The docket doesn’t have quite as many blockbuster cases on its docket as it did last term, when its rulings included an opinion granting broad immunity to former president Donald Trump. Still, it’s possible that the conservative-majority court could yet be asked to intervene in election disputes after the ballots are cast in November. READ THE FULL STORY AT CBS 11 NEWS
