Today's U.S. Supreme Court rulings in argued cases

Today's U.S. Supreme Court rulings in argued cases: The Supreme Court of the United States today issued three rulings in argued cases.

1. Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr. issued the opinion of the Court in Ysursa v. Pocatello Ed. Assn., No. 07-869. You can access the decision at this link and the oral argument transcript at this link. In news coverage, Jesse J. Holland of The Associated Press has a report headlined "Court: State can stop union political deductions."

2. Justice Clarence Thomas issued the opinion of the Court in Carcieri v. Salazar, No. 07-526. You can access the decision at this link and the oral argument transcript at this link. In news coverage, The Associated Press reports that "Court rules for state in American Indian land case." And The Providence (R.I.) Journal has a news update headlined "Court rules for RI in Narragansett tribal case." I guess that Theodore B. Olson wasn't such a bad choice to argue for Rhode Island after all.

3. And Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg issued the opinion of the Court in United States v. Hayes, No. 07-608. You can access the decision at this link and the oral argument transcript at this link. Mark Sherman of the Associated Press reports that "Court upholds conviction in guns case." David G. Savage of The Los Angeles Times has a news update headlined "High court keeps guns away from domestic abusers; Justices uphold broader interpretation of law aimed at people convicted of felony and misdemeanor violence." At "The BLT: The Blog of Legal Times," Tony Mauro has a post titled "Second Amendment Absent in Supreme Court Gun Ruling."

Finally, at "SCOTUSblog," Lyle Denniston has a post titled "Some limits on political donations upheld" reporting on all three rulings.
