Significant Rulings of U.S. Supreme Court Term

Significant rulings of U.S. Supreme Court term is a good overview of the term from the SF Gate.

"The Voting Rights Act survived the U.S. Supreme Court's just-completed term. School employees weren't given free rein to strip-search 13-year-olds for illicit painkillers. Federal regulation of political campaign ads remains intact, and prosecutors in most cases still can't use evidence that police obtained illegally. It was the year of the shoe that didn't drop, of court analysts' predictions that didn't come to pass. There were no blockbuster rulings, but there were some significant ones."
