Supreme Court halves challenge to Voting Rights Act
The Supreme Court allows Section 5 coverage to continue with states able to prove non discrimination without federal preclearance. The 8-1 decision avoids ruling on constitutionality, noting changed conditions in the South and citing narrower reach. Civil rights groups hailed the ruling as protection for the act’s core provisions.

Baby sea lion rescued after wandering onto freeway
A malnourished baby sea lion wandered onto Interstate 880 near the Oakland Coliseum, rode in a police car, then was taken to The Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito. Officers and center staff noted the pup is active but thin as wildlife authorities report a regional rise in stranded sea lions due to depleted small fish stocks.
