Supreme Court leaves NH rape law ruling intact
The Supreme Court declined to disturb a lower court ruling striking down New Hampshire’s gender biased statutory rape law, applying only to men with girls under 15. The decision leaves intact a ruling that such gender discrimination violates equal protection, with potential impact on similar laws nationwide. The court also asked the Seventh Circuit to decide if court orders are needed to compel documents from firms under federal equal employment obligations, and upheld Minnesota’s tax checkoff for public campaign financing with parallels in several states.
