  2. How the Supreme Court will reveal its healthcare ruling

    WASHINGTON -- Just before 10 a.m. EDT today, the nine justices of the Supreme Court will be summoned by a buzzer to the robing room behind the court bench.

  6. Health care reform survives

    By voting to uphold the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr.erased concerns that the Supreme Court had become captive to a political rather than a legal agenda. As he promised to do during his confirmation hearings, Chief Justice Roberts in his decision released today crafted a narrow ruling that showed due deference to the other branches of government. In fact, his view of the most controversial element of the law, the so-called individual mandate — a requirement that individuals purchase health insurance or pay a penalty — cut through the political spin of Democrats in Congress and President Barack Obama. They had refused to call the penalty a tax, out of an effort to avoid breaking the president's promise not to raise taxes on the middle class. But Chief Justice Roberts said that's what the provision amounts to, and under Congress' broad powers to levy taxes, it stands.

  10. A humane decision

    This week, the Supreme Court took another step &mdash; albeit a small one &mdash; toward restricting the severity of punishments courts can impose on juvenile offenders. In a 5-4 ruling, in which Justice Anthony Kennedy sided with the court's liberal wing, the justices ruled that juveniles convicted of murder may not be given mandatory sentences of life in prison without the possibility of parole. Writing for the majority, Justice Elena Kagan said "a judge or jury must have the opportunity to consider mitigating circumstances before imposing the harshest possible penalty" on minors under the age of 18.
