Courts - Still more on: Final opinion days from the SCOTUS
Check the ever excellent SCOTUSBlog for the details. Only three cases left this term.
Davis v. Federal Election Commission - Millionaire's amendment. "The ruling below, which upheld the law, is reversed and remanded."
Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc. v. Public Utility District No. 1 of Snohomish County - "The ruling below, which remanded the case to FERC for further review, is affirmed and remanded."
District of Columbia v. Heller - "The ruling below, which struck down the [gun possession] provisions in question, is affirmed." This is a very bigie. Tom Goldstein of SCOTUSBlog notes: "It is striking that the decision is not clouded by ambiguity created by separate opinions. One opinion on each side." Then: "Apologies - there is a second dissenting opinion, but only one majority." Here, thanks again to SCOTUSBlog, is the 157-page opinion
That should do it for this term..
