Obscenity ruling backs state standards for obscenity trials
The Supreme Court held Carnal Knowledge not obscene and said juries may follow community standards rather than statewide rules. Justice Rehnquist wrote that the film does not depict sexual conduct in an obscene way and nudity alone is not obscene. The decision also upheld a separate ruling that mailing obscene material under proper standards does not violate the First Amendment, affirming convictions in a President's Commission report case.

States uphold barring felons from voting in state elections
The Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision led by Justice Rehnquist, ruled that ex-felons who have completed prison sentences may be barred from voting in state and local elections. The majority found the 14th Amendment does not require voting rights for felons, citing denial for “participation in rebellion or other crime.” The California case reversed the state supreme court, with dissent by Justices Douglas, Marshall, and Brennan.
