The high court declined to hear Joseph Perkins’s challenge to California’s marijuana ban arguing it violated freedom of expression and privacy.

NAACP Lawyer Defends Reasonableness in Busing Case
The NAACP Legal Defense Fund argues before the Supreme Court on whether a new reasonableness standard can hinder desegregation via busing. Julius LeVanne Chambers cites the 4th Circuit and North Carolina and Georgia cases as benchmarks. The session, part of a nationwide desegregation effort, probes if specific black white attendance ratios are needed and how to reach them. The Nixon stance supports neighborhood schooling even if some schools stay all black or all white.
