Mississippi justices hear arguments over appointed vs elected judges in majority-Black capital

The Mississippi Supreme Court heard arguments Thursday about a state law that has sparked a monthslong dispute over whether white state officials are stomping on local self-governance in the state's majority-Black capital city, Jackson.
