Supreme Court Preview on the ACS Blog

From the American Constitution Society
for Law & Policy (ACS) Blog (9/25/2006):

"ACS is pleased to present an online Supreme
Court Preview, featuring leading legal experts
explaining just what is at stake this Term--the
first full Term in which recently confirmed Justices
John Roberts and Samuel Alito will sit. Along with
their seven colleagues, they will consider such issues as:

Whether a woman, whose health is endangered by her
pregnancy, has a constitutional right to a safe abortion.

How quickly a victim of race, gender or religious
discrimination in the workplace must initiate an action
against a discriminatory employer in order to obtain relief.

Whether the Clean Air Act imposes a mandate on the EPA
to issue rules restricting greenhouse gas emissions.

To what extent a court may impose punitive damages
on a company engaged in "highly reprehensible" acts.

Whether the Constitution denies local school districts
the authority to voluntarily integrate racially segregated schools."
