Rulings On Rights End Court Session
Washington (RP) The Supreme Court ends its term with rulings narrowing rights for civil rights workers and inmates. It bars retroactive use of confession rulings, limits federal claims against state prosecutions, and upholds equal access to public accommodations. The court also finds police may take blood samples under narrow conditions without violating rights. The Escobedo and Miranda decisions are reaffirmed as controlling post conclusion.
