The
Supreme Court begins what almost certainly is its final week of work
before its summer break with 10 cases left to decide. Among the big
issues are gun rights and the death penalty for rape of a child.
The
court is meeting Monday morning to issue opinions and announce whether
it has accepted any new cases to argue during the next term.
The
justices still have not handed down decisions in a landmark Second
Amendment case on the meaning of the right to keep and bear arms. Also
awaiting a decision is a challenge to a Louisiana law that allows
people convicted of raping children to be given the death penalty.
These decisions could be decided by
today or later this week. It sure should be an exciting week for those
of us who follow the currently 5 activist judges.
