Today the Court issued two opinions and heard arguments in two cases. In the more important of its decisions, the Court put to rest, once and for all, a lawsuit that had attempted to hold anti-abortion protesters liable under RICO. Before its demise today, that suit had spanned the course of nineteen years and two previous rulings by SCOTUS in the case.
In addition to the Marshall case, the Court also heard arguments on a campaign finance case from Vermont.
More on these matters tomorrow.
Update: Possibly a mistake to say that the abortion injunction case was more important; the other case (as I'll discuss later) could potentially have had a significant impact on the law of corporate mergers. It's better to just say that the abortion case was more exciting.
