	Road Block Registry: Nebraska Court Cases
		In summary, McCleery asserts that the county court and the Court of Appeals erred in holding that the stop of her vehicle was lawful and that the evidence obtained as a result thereof was admissible.
		The court held that Snyder's attempt to avoid the roadblock by turning around raised a "specific and articulable fact" which gave rise to a reasonable suspicion on the part of the law enforcement officer that Snyder might be committing a crime.
		The Court of Appeals is directed to remand the cause to the county court with instructions to dismiss.

	Road Block Registry: Arkansas Court Cases
		The circuit court entered a written amended judgment indicating that the entry of Appellant's plea of guilty was conditioned on his right to appeal the suppression issue and sentencing Appellant to pay the Springdale Municipal Court a fine of $250.00 and court costs of $335.25.
		The Supreme Court enunciated the test in Brown as follows: "Consideration of the constitutionality of such seizures involves a weighing of the gravity of the public concerns served by the seizure, the degree to which the seizure advances the public interest, and the severity of the interference with individual liberty." Id. at 50-51.
		The three factors to be weighed in this case are the State's interest in preventing accidents caused by drunk drivers, the degree to which the State's seizure or roadblock advances its interest, and the level of intrusion on Appellant's individual privacy that is caused by the roadblock.

		The court said public officials may not win damages for defamatory statements regarding their official conduct unless they can prove actual "malice," that is, that the statements were made knowing that they were false or with reckless disregard of whether they were true or false.
		The court further added that the principal's fears were reasonable: he was concerned that the students' identities could not be assured, that the privacy interests of boyfriends and parents were not adequately protected, and that parents mentioned in the divorce article were not given an opportunity to defend themselves.
		In this case, the law that compelled the evolution doctrine to be removed from the course of study was passed to agree with the religious pointofview of certain fundamentalists.

	Campaign Finance: Key Court Cases
		The court acknowledged "that the result we reach in this case may be counterintuitive to a common sense understanding of the message conveyed by the television political advertisements at issue." On April 25, the Mississippi Attorney General's appeal for rehearing was denied.
		The court said the appeal "should never have been taken" and that the effort was "a waste of taxpayers' money." In accordance with these findings, the court fined Toledano $7,500 plus payment of the FEC's legal fees, even though the FEC had not requested either the additional fine or the reimbursement of legal fees.
		The Court held that public financing of elections is not required by the constitution and therefore could not order the state to do so, and furthermore is a legislative issue rather than a matter for the courts.

	CNN.com - Supreme Court term packed with meaty cases - Oct 3, 2005
		In this case, the court is asked to clarify whether federal laws against racketeering and extortion can be used against those who, according to the official court filing, organize "sit-ins and demonstrations that obstruct public's access" to clinics.
		The Supreme Court in 1995 ruled a convicted murderer could receive a new trial if his or her "actual innocence" claim showed the new evidence made it likely "no reasonable juror would have found him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt." A federal appeals court ultimately ruled House did not meet that standard.
		Various courts have disagreed on whether it was actually "alibi evidence" that went straight to whether a defendant was guilty and should have been presented during the guilt or innocence phase of the trial.

		On December 2, 2002, the Circuit Court for the District of Columbia Circuit heard argument from the Government and attorneys representing the Rasul and Odah plaintiffs, most of whom maintain that their family members were either victims of bounty hunters or mistakenly identified to U.S. forces as combatants.

		The most prominent such case arose out of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, where a group including two journalists, ten lawyers, three rabbis, and a Christian pastor filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus on behalf of the Guantanamo detainees.

	NRA-ILA :: Fact Sheets
		The Court unanimously held that the term "the people" in the Second Amendment had the same meaning as in the Preamble to the Constitution and in the First, Fourth, and Ninth Amendments, i.e., that "the people" means at least all citizens and legal aliens while in the United States.
		This case is not a firearms case; it involves the federal switchblade knife act.
		Yet, as the Supreme Court in Lewis, supra, made clear, Miller held that it is the firearm itself, not the act of keeping and bearing the firearm, which must have a "reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well-regulated militia." The court did, however, recognize that Miller required evidence of the militia nexus.
