The United States Supreme Court strikes down Texas restrictions on abortion doctors; upholds University of Texas’ race conscious admission plan; reminds federal agencies they must explain why they change their views on a statute they enforce; rejects suppression of evidence when an officer discovers there is an arrest warrant out for a person they have illegally stopped; holds decision to initiate review of a patent is not judicially reviewable; rejects extraterritorial private RICO cause of action; holds robbing a marijuana dealer is per se violation the Hobbs Act; concludes violations of Iowa’s burglary statute are not violent felonies for career criminal purposes; approves warrantless breath tests DUI cases; narrowly construes the public corrupt statute and holds reckless domestic violence misdemeanor convictions trigger a lifetime ban on possessing firearms.
