Big day at SCOTUS
Washington State Grange v. Washington State Republican Party was decided today, upholding Washington's primary voting system, passed by voters as initiative I-872, as facially constitutional against the state GOP's challenge on the grounds it violates freedom of association.
Also today, oral arguments in the first Second Amendment case to reach the Supreme Court in 70 years, D.C. v. Heller. Extensive coverage today at The Volokh Conspiracy; the oral argument is playing right now on C-SPAN Radio.
And! Yesterday, SCOTUS accepted cert in FCC v. Fox Television Stations, its first TV indecency case in 30 years (since Pacifica), concerning the live broadcast of "fleeting expletives" - all thanks to Cher's and Nicole Richie's dirty mouths. Ooh boy!
