Conservativism defined the 4th U.S. Circuit gains
The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals earned a reputation as the nation’s most conservative appellate court with rulings on tobacco and federal state power. The Supreme Court will hear the Miranda warnings case to decide if the circuit overstepped. Legal scholars say the court tests current Supreme Court doctrine and reshapes constitutional law.

Railroads win expanded legal shield over crossing warnings
US Supreme Court, in a 7-2 vote, ruled railroads are not liable for adequacy of federally funded warning devices at grade crossings. Justice OConnor noted states may add better devices with their funds, but cannot force railroads to bear responsibility for federal funded installations. The ruling overturns a $430,765 verdict for Debra Shanklin after a 1993 Gibson County crossing death.

Supreme Court backs storage privacy in bus luggage search
The Supreme Court ruled 7 to 2 that a passenger on a Greyhound bus retains privacy in items stored in an overhead rack. Police violated the Fourth Amendment by physically feeling suitcases searching for drugs, marking a departure from broader police search latitude. Chief Justice Rehnquist wrote the decision, distinguishing tactile intrusion from visual surveillance.
