With all the attention thrown towards the horse race, it's easy to forget that the Supremos are gearing up for another tour of duty. And they're going to rule on some important stuff.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court begins a new term on Monday that will decide important cases on federal sentencing rules, the death penalty for juveniles and the medical use of marijuana.The high court will also rule on disputes including the segregation of prisoners by race, how long the government may detain certain immigrants awaiting deportation...
and the most important case, if you're living in Ohio...
...and bans on out-of-state wine sales.
(The markup on wine prices in Ohio is just plain nuts)
Let's take a look. We're in the 21st century and we're still debating whether or not it's cool to execute kids??? No brainer. And pot for glaucoma and cancer patients? Come on. I've always thought the tobacco lobby had something to do with that one.
Two of the other cases I don't have much to say about right now. But for the love of God, Ohioans shouldn't have to pay an exorbitant amount of money for the liquid that Jesus created out of water. You'd think the Christians would be all over that one.
Heh.
