Aside from its immigration ruling in Blanche v. Lau, the Supreme Court this morning decided four cases. Three of them, all decided on 6–3 ideological lines, involved questions of who could sue whom for civil damages. The Court ruled in favor of suits against arms of the Cuban government but restricted suits against companies that do business with China and suits against state prison officials accused of violating prisoners’ religious liberties. In the fourth case, the Court unanimously rejected a long-shot effort to limit state seizures of property to collect taxes. I’ll deal with the three 6–3 cases here.
