Landmark Day in High Court Expands Federal Judicial Power
The Supreme Court on Monday extended federal judicial supremacy with three rulings. It limited Georgia's legislature powers over its own members in the Julian Bond case, asserted final jurisdiction over Georgia's governor selection amid no majority in voting, and agreed to review California's open housing referendum ruling under the 14th amendment one person one vote doctrine. The decisions mark a broader, if contested, reach into state political processes.

Mutual Fund Findings Critiqued by SEC Analyst
