Cases involving US gun laws, videos depicting dog-fighting and the presence of a cross in the Mojave desert are among those expected to dominate a fresh session of the US Supreme Court which opens on Monday.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor is a new addition to the nine-member panel, replacing liberal Justice David Souter, who retired.
The court is expected to hand down rulings on the cases it considers in the spring.
Among the cases to watch out for are:
CHALLENGE TO GUN CONTROL LAWS
PRESENCE OF RELIGIOUS SYMBOL ON FEDERAL LAND – Interesting
FREE SPEECH CHALLENGE OVER DOG-FIGHTING VIDEO
CAMPAIGN FINANCE – We’re still dealing with this? If the gov’t wanted it fixed, it would have been done by now. Hell, I wasn’t even born when these REFORMS started.
CHALLENGE TO LIFE SENTENCES FOR JUVENILES
CHALLENGE TO LAW MAKING IT A CRIME TO AID TERROR GROUPS
DISPUTE OVER HUMAN RIGHTS CASE AGAINST EX-SOMALIAN PM
