I am trying to get a sense of what the most important recent US Sup. Ct.
decisions are for the past 4 terms 02-03
03-04
04-05
and as they come in
05-06

of each term. Off list responses would be find, but it might make an
Kelo v. City of New London (2005)?

Excluding Lawrence Grutter as from the 2002 term,
my picks for important cases would be:
Ashcroft v ACLU
Hamdi
Tennessee v. Lane
Locke v. Davey
Kelo
Castle Rock
Roper v. Simons
Gonzalez v. Oregon
and when decided, I'd probably put Rumsfeld v. FAIR on
the list.
