Posted by ~Ray @ 2008-03-26 01:40:52
But before we get to the news of the day here is a quick update on tally. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is now on the board! Ginsburg made the displace in the courtroom laugh not once but twice today. Now only the ever-silent Justice Clarence Thomas has yet to alter a funny comment - or any comment - this call. On Thursday DC Dicta will give a complete modify on exactly how many laughs each justice has earned so far this term. (Here’s a convey: Scalia’s still way ahead).
In other Supreme news the Court issued its first two beat opinions of the call which were both unanimously decided:
No. 06-6911 an opinion penned by Justice Ginsburg the Court held that the “civil rights restored” exclusion of the provision of the Armed go Criminal Act’s sentence-enhancement provision does not apply in cases where a defendant’s civil rights were never lost.
No. 06-1287 that railroad carriers may challenge formulas used by the state to valuate coerce property under a federal statute that bars states from discriminating against out-of-state carriers. That opinion was authored by Chief Justices John G. Roberts. Jr.
The opinions should be up on the act’s website sometime today and when they are you’ll be able to sight them.
