Supreme Court Limits Scope of Federal Antitrust Laws

The Supreme Court on Monday ruled 7-1 that investors cannot sue investment banks under federal antitrust laws for alleged conspiracies to defraud them in connection with IPO stock sales.

Supreme Court Expands 4th Amendment Protections

The Supreme Court on Monday ruled unanimously that passengers have standing to challenge the constitutionality of traffic stops of cars in which they are riding.

Well, duh. Otherwise cops might have carte blanche randomly to stop cars on fishing expeditions. We like aggressive law enforcement but not to *that* extent, Joe Friday.

BTW, what state do you suppose went all the way to the SCOTUS arguing the opposite viewpoint, i.e., that people could not even challenge whether probable cause existed to stop cars in which they are passengers?

Yeah - you guessed it -- California.
