Illinois Case Among 17 Supreme Court Has To Decide By June's End
From the Associated Press
It's crunch time at the Supreme Court, where the justices are racing to issue opinions in 17 cases, including union fees for Illinois health care workers, over the next two weeks.
The religious rights of corporations, the speech rights of abortion protesters and the privacy rights of people under arrest are among the significant issues that are so far unresolved.
Summer travel, European teaching gigs and relaxation beckon, but only after the court hands down decisions in all the cases it has heard since October.
