Supreme Court upholds re-enlistment bonuses for sailors
The Supreme Court ruled that the government must pay up to 10000 the promised re-enlistment bonuses to about 36000 sailors who re-enlisted while the bonus program stood in effect, despite the 1974 act repealing the authorization. The decision, by Justice Brennan, kept intact Navy obligations and noted no intent to cut off already agreed payments. The court also allowed foster-home removals without pre-removal hearings and struck down laws restricting aid to resident aliens and waivers of immunity for grand jury refusals.
