Supreme Court: Lust not all bad in obscenity ruling
The Supreme Court held that anti obscenity laws may not ban material solely for inciting lust. In a 6 2 decision the justices said a federal appeals court overstepped by voiding Washington state moral nuisance law in full rather than just striking the lust clause. Justice Byron R White wrote the opinion.

Mitchell protected from wiretap suit
The Supreme Court on a 5 to 2 vote shielded former Attorney General John N. Mitchell from a 1970 wiretap lawsuit. Justice Byron R. White wrote that Mitchell had qualified immunity since at the time it was not clearly established that the wiretap was unconstitutional. The decision limits absolute immunity for Cabinet officers in such cases.
