Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

"Supreme Court", Guardian. It's a proper noun. We don't call your stuff the "UK house of commons", and that isn't a difference between British English and American English.
And it's not a typo, because you consistently did it through the whole article.
"Justice Department". Well, really, "Department of Justice", but whatever, people use that informally.
"Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals".
How is it that you stripped caps off of every proper noun referring to a government institution in the entire article, but still managed to capitalize "Starbucks" and "Workers United"?
EDIT: And they do it in another article too:
https://www.theguardian.com/law/2024/apr/24/us-supreme-court-abortion-rights-emtala
But there they do capitalize the FDA in that article:
EDIT2: And they did capitalize the NLRB in the first article, so not every government institution:
EDIT3: And their counterparts at The Telegraph and the BBC are capitalizing the proper nouns for the same institutions:

Go complain at their Editor.
Boy have I got some bad news
That's a capital C
Yes it is. Here's what I think someone concerned with propper capitalization of SCOTUS would not be keen to hear:
The Founding Fathers were not grammar and syntax authorities. Tal is correct in expecting more from a journalist. Writing is literally their profession.

I'll bet you ten internet points that the guardian doesn't read this. Yes I failed to caps that just for fun
Fighting the good fight, my man
It's the guardian do you really expect them to grammar check their articles?
Who gives a shit? Do you have any idea how often I read German words written by English speakers which are fucked up beyond belief? But I acknowledge that the world doesn't revolve around my country or my language
Many people.
And as they said this isn't a foreign language issue.
waaaahhhh why won't the rest of the world pretend we're the only ones that matter we're important and special and the default that should always be assumed how dare you go against that waaahhh
That's not at all what they said.
But good effort trying to act like a child, I guess.
they complained that a british newspaper called the US supreme court exactly that instead of The Supreme Court even though we have our own supreme court and so do many other countries and so it's worth clarifying it's just a typical yank throwing a hissy fit when everyone doesn't pretend the world revolves around them
