[net.legal] US Supreme Court

thill@ssc-bee.UUCP (Tom Hill) (10/08/85)

Well, the Supreme Court is now in session once again.  Does anyone out there
want to dicuss some of the cases?  From now until July they should hear
about 180 cases (a record I think) out of 5000 that requested to be heard.
Topics of the cases to be heard include jury selection, zoning laws,
separation of church and state (in at least two cases), affirmative action,
and more.   Does anyone out there have a favorite?  Yes abortion is also
going to be heard but lets keep that one in net.abortion where it belongs.

Comments Welcome,

Tom Hill

Sure! You left out comparable worth. As you know, Judge Tanner's decision
against Washington State on comparable worth was overturned last month by
the 9th circuit (I'll post some of the 9th's reasoning as soon as I have
time to look up the decision). The Supremes have agreed to hear an appeal.
Stay tuned.

Where are the Court's decisions published?  I'm not sure that I want to
wade through the documents in their entirity, so abstracts would be ok.
