	Case in Brief:Minnesota Supreme Court Strikes Down Administrative Child Support Process (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		On January 28, 1999 the Supreme Court of Minnesota ruled that aspects of the state's administrative process related to child support establishment and enforcement violated the state constitutional clause requiring a separation of powers between the executive, judicial, and legislative branches of government.
		The court gave three reasons for its decision: 1.) the administrative process infringed on the district court's jurisdiction; 2.) ALJ jurisdiction was essentially equal to the district court's jurisdiction; and 3.) the administrative process permitted non-attorneys to practice law, which infringed on the judicial branch's exclusive power to supervise those who practice law.
		Minnesota's administrative process for child support has long been regarded as a model for administrative efficiency and the state's child support program is one of the best-performing in the country.

		The judgment of the Minnesota Supreme Court is reversed, and the case is remanded for proceedings not inconsistent with this opinion.

		However, the Minnesota court was far from clear in identifying the "injuries" inflicted by the expression that St. Paul sought to regulate.

	Erowid Law Vaults : Minnesota Supreme Court : MN Supreme Court bans traffic 'consent searches'
		The Minnesota Supreme Court had previously ruled in MN v Wiegand (645 N.W.2d 125, 135 (Minn. 2002)) that police were not allowed to bring in drug-sniffing dogs to search a vehicle after a traffic stop unless there is "reasonable, articulable suspicion of drug-related criminal activity".
		This decision, and the NJ Supreme Court Decision before it, make a very clear statement that police officers are not allowed to detain citizens for more than is appropriate to the traffic violation for which they have been stopped, unless they have clearly articulable (describable) reason to think some other specific crime has been committed.
		Because the Minnesota Supreme Court based their decision on the Minnesota Constitution and Minnesota state cases, this decision is not reviewable by the US Supreme Court and cannot be overturned.

	Baker v. Nelson Information
		Because of the Minnesota Supreme Court decision, the license was deemed invalid.
		The Minnesota Supreme Court acknowledged the Fourteenth Amendment prohibits some state restrictions upon the right to marry, but that "in commonsense and in a constitutional sense, there is a clear distinction between a marital restriction based merely upon race and one based upon the fundamental difference in sex".
		The district court dismissed the case, ruling that the U.S. Supreme Court's Summary disposition in Baker was binding on the district court—which meant that the District Court was required to uphold DOMA and the Florida marriage statute as constitutional.
