U.S. Supreme Court - end of term flurry of cases The Supreme Court, as usual, keeps all the hard cases for the end of its term, so now is the time they are being announced. Dahlia Lithwick of Slate magazine can be heard here on NPR's Day to Day commenting on the series of cases the Court handed down on Monday. The Court has 5 more cases, including Hamdan v. Rumsfeld, to decide before it recesses for the summer at the end of the month.
