Supreme Court Turns Tougher on Criminals in Term
The Supreme Court signaled a conservative shift in its nine month term, ruling firmly against criminal defendants, limiting federal power over states, and widening police authority. It narrowed prisoner challenges to evidence, upheld arrests without warrants, and allowed searches of business records. The term also addressed free speech, advertising, and race in schools, while steering on busing and abortion rulings.
