Court influence felt through rejection
The Supreme Court on its first post recess day issued about 900 actions including refusals to review lower court rulings. It denied Georgia’s bid to sue Nixon over education and pollution funds and rejected several cases on obscenity standards, race in schools, Hoffa appeal, blockbusting, and gender pay in ads. It also agreed to rule on a military law provision involving two servicemen prosecuted for protesting the Vietnam War.
