Issue(s): (1) Whether Abood v. Detroit Board of Education should be overruled and public-sector “agency shop” arrangements invalidated under the First Amendment; and (2) whether it violates the First Amendment to require that public employees affirmatively object to subsidizing nonchargeable speech by public-sector unions, rather than requiring that employees affirmatively consent to subsidizing such speech.

*[[Eighth Amendment]] ([[capital punishment]]) - 4 cases, three of which will be argued together

−

*[[affirmative action]] case, on its second trip to the Supreme Court, in Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin, No. 14-981
