The court on Monday, in twin partisan gerrymandering cases from Wisconsin and Maryland, said either that challengers didn't have standing or didn't weigh in on the merits of the case.

The high court on Thursday struck down Minnesota's broad ban on "political" apparel inside polling places. But justices said similar, more narrowly written laws in other states are likely fine.

On Wednesday, the Legislative and Judicial branches of the federal government clashed over who should direct how one body deals with sexual harassment complaints.

A divided Supreme Court has ruled that Ohio is allowed to purge voters from the rolls based on inactivity. The decision could have implications for several states.

The Supreme Court upheld the most aggressive voter-purge law in the country. If a voter doesn't respond to mailings or hasn't voted in two consecutive elections, they are kicked off the rolls.

The Hawaii senator is the chamber's only immigrant. The Democrat, who asks every nominee whether they've ever been accused of sexual misconduct, has a passion belied by her cool affect.

The Justices threw out a lower court order allowing an undocumented immigrant in U.S. custody to get an abortion. And they ruled in favor of baker who refused to make a wedding cake for a gay couple.

The Supreme Court on Monday ruled that a local baker in Colorado was within his rights to refuse to bake a cake for a same-sex couple's wedding, but it did not go beyond this case.

The Supreme Court declined to take up an appeal to a restrictive abortion law in Arkansas that would effectively ban abortions by medication. But this is hardly the end of the line for this case.

Clinics in Arkansas began canceling medical abortions Tuesday. The law, which heavily restricts abortion by medication, is threatening two of the state's three facilities that perform abortions.

The Supreme Court reversed a conviction that came after an officer looked at a motorcycle under a tarp outside a private residence — without a warrant.

In a 5-4 decision, the court ruled employees can no longer sue companies with class-action suits. The court's liberal minority warned that could lead to state and federal statutes that go unfollowed.

The high court ruled for the first time that workers may not band together to challenge violations of federal labor laws.

Republican leaders, worried about possibly losing control of the Senate in the November elections, are racing against the clock to push through as many judicial nominations as they can.

Democrats may hold 49 votes in the Senate but for all practical purposes, they have been completely disarmed when it comes to opposing President Trump's judicial nominees.

The Supreme Court has ruled that a 25-year-old law that had barred most states from legalizing sports betting is unconstitutional — opening the door to legalized sports gambling across the country.

The court decided only the accused have a right to profess guilt or innocence, not a lawyer. And in the age of Zipcar, you still maintain a right to privacy even if you aren't on a rental agreement.

"Congress can regulate sports gambling directly," the court wrote in a decision released Monday, "but if it elects not to do so, each state is free to act on its own."

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments Wednesday in a case considering the legality of the Trump administration's travel ban. The justices appear ready to side with the administration.

The court's conservatives were clearly leaning in the government's favor Wednesday in the long-anticipated travel ban case. It would be a big win for one of the pillars of the president's politics.
