Case Before the Court

We are now a full month removed from the First Monday in October, which, as many American know, is the first day of new U.S. Supreme Court term. There are several very interesting cases on the Court's docket this session, ranging from whether films depicting the brutal death of animals are protected by freedom of speech to whether juveniles can be sentenced to life in prison without violating the 8th Amendment's prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment. The Wall Street Journal had an excellent piece on the new term last month. It can be found here.
