Supreme Court allows telemarketer lawsuits in charity fraud case
The Supreme Court ruled unanimously that states may pursue fraud charges against telemarketers who mislead donors about how their contributions are used. Illinois can target Telemarketing Associates Inc for diverting over 85 percent of an $8 million fund to a Vietnam veterans charity, with funds mislabeled as charitable. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg noted the ruling limits to charity solicitation, not general sales pitches.

Military tax relief bill stalls in Congress amid Iraq aims
In Washington a tax relief bill for military personnel stalls in Congress as Sen. John McCain presses to extend capital gains tax breaks for deployed troops. The measure would broaden residency rules for homes sold near combat zones and tax free the $6000 death benefit while allowing reservists to recover some travel expenses. Both chambers blame each other for the blockage.
