Two Civil Cases From SCOTUS Today

| 0 Comments
The U.S. Supreme Court did not decide any of the remaining criminal law cases on its docket.  There were two civil case decisions.  One is the case of campaign buttons in polling places, Minnesota Voters Alliance v. Mansky, No. 16-1435.  The Court did not strike down button bans but said, "the State must be able to articulate some sensible basis for distinguishing what may come in from what must stay out."  Minnesota law does not, so it cannot stand.  Sound familiar?  No, Furman v. Georgia (1972) is not cited.  I checked.
