us supreme court: Supreme Court hears Oral Arguments in Arizona Immigration Case - 04/29/12 09:42 AM
It takes a while for a dispute to reach the Supreme Court of the United States.  But the second challenge to Obama Administration policies came before the Court last week.  The first major challenge concerned the Constitutionality of the ObamaCare attempt to revise the health care insurance structure.  The second  Supreme Court confrontation is the defense of the Government's incredible decision to sue the State of Arizona to prevent SB1070 from becoming law.
I expect that if the Administration continues to attempt to impose policies by regulation  that they couldn't pass in Congress that we will see more Supreme Court cases … (10 comments)

us supreme court: The Supreme Court takes a Dive in Uncharted Waters - 06/14/08 01:59 AM
The Supreme Court created new waves of controversy with its decision in Boumediene v Bush this week. The 5-4 decision permits Guantanamo detainees to challenge their detention in US civil courts.
The case is remarkable for several reasons and it shows something of the underbelly of the Court and our structure of government.
