The SCOTUS is on a tear.

I'm not a lawyer, but I try to use common sense.

• File Sharing services are liable if they are used for theft or illegal activities.
  How much longer will it take for this to be applicable to other forms of business. Will alcohol be held responsible for underage drinking? Will car manufacturers be held responsible for allowing a drunk driver on the road? The big one for me, will gun manufacturers be held responsible for the misuse of weapons? For now, electronic media. For the future?


• Supreme Court refuses to hear reporters' appeals.
  So no more anonymous resources. Maybe folks will stop popping off, forcing reporters to work harder for the facts and the truth, instead of settling for a second-hand account.


• Police cannot be sued for how they enforce restraining orders.
  This isn't the first ruling like this. Restraining orders aren't worth much more than the paper they are written on if a police officer is not there to see an infraction as it occurs. There's also the 2nd amendment that can work for you.


• Justices back public display of Ten Commandments in Texas, reject Kentucky's
  

  The Kentucky cases involved a dispute over two framed copies of the Ten Commandments displayed in two courthouses. The majority determined those exhibits went too far in promoting religious messages.
  In the Texas case, a 6-foot-high granite Ten Commandments display was among nearly 40 monuments and historical markers spread across 22 acres in front of the capitol in Austin.
  "No exact formula can dictate a resolution in fact-intensive cases such as this," Rehnquist read. "The determinative factor here, however, is that 40 years passed in which the monument's presence, legally speaking, went unchallenged."
