Church trials may excommunicate or bar temple rites, and tax compliance is now checked during temple recommends interviews. IRS and Utah officials note several cases where protesters have paid back taxes.

Supreme Court curbs federal review of state criminal cases
The court ended its seventh term with a major shift on Fourth Amendment grounds. It barred federal tribunals from reviewing most state convictions for illegal seizure evidence, while a dissent argued the ruling erodes constitutional protections. The decision also allows state courts to refine searches without federal intervention and expands police powers in several related rulings.

Ford Congress clash over public works jobs veto fight
President Ford and the Democratic majority spar over a new veto on a $3.95 billion public works jobs bill. Ford argues the plan would create limited, short-lived jobs and fuel inflation while Democrats say the measure could save up to 350,000 positions. The House already overridden a February veto. Senate fell short by three votes. The July reconvening could shift the outcome as both sides accuse election-year politics.
