Thread Name: BS: What a term for the Supreme Court!
Subject: RE: BS: What a term for the Supreme Court!
They:
approved continuing but limited affirmative action struck down sodomy laws upheld Internet filtering for schools and libraries upheld California's three strikes law upheld "Megan's Laws" ruled that states could punish cross burning held that RICO couldn't be used against abortion protestors upheld a 20 year extension of copyright ruled that a state may try to force drug companies to lower prices ruled against Victoria's Secret
Some of these decisions could be defined as "liberal" and others "conservative."
Looks like a mixed bag to me. And as for Roe v. Wade, I dunno -- the sodomy decision seems to reinforce privacy rights.
