Supreme Court begins new term
The Supreme Court begins a new term on Monday. Rather than ruling on the rights of corporations, as it has done in recent terms, the Court has criminal justice, free speech, and religion cases on the docket. Cases that are likely to grab headlines include when police can track cars with GPS devices, and whether sexual content may air on television at times when children may be watching. But one case may overshadow all of the others: President Obama’s health care policy, which requires that most people buy health insurance by 2014. Jeff Rosen, law professor at George Washington University, legal affairs editor for The New Republic, and author of “The Supreme Court: The Personalities and Rivalries That Defined America,” talks about what to expect in the Court’s new term.
