Supreme Court delays Powell bid to regain Congress seat
The Supreme Court refused immediate review of Adam Clayton Powell's bid to reclaim his Harlem seat. The decision means Powell must pursue standard legal steps, with possible action after the October term begins, while he can still seek relief from the House based on his April special election win. The court also ruled on California housing repeal as unconstitutional, and on citizenship revocation in a separate case.
