High Court declines Liddy appeal in Watergate case
The Supreme Court refused to hear G Gordon Liddy’s appeal as he serves up to 20 years for Watergate charges. The court also required a higher standard for federal districting edits and left in place rulings that Minnesota abortion limits and a Massachusetts hospital rule are unconstitutional. It called for oral arguments on a federal state dispute over offshore oil reserves and set arguments for late February. It held that ending automatic jury excuses for women cannot overturn all male jury convictions and agreed to hear cases on coal mine safety and employee regulations and trials in prisoners’ clothes.
