Today’s Rulings

The Supreme Court will be issuing rulings today at 10 a.m.. I will update this post to provide quick news on the results. (For the initial news, I will be relying on SCOTUSblog.) I will reserve any extended commentary for later posts.

Updates:

Riley v. California and U.S. v. Wurie (Fourth Amendment issues on cellphone privacy)—Chief Justice opinion (single opinion for both cases). Broad protection for privacy. Unanimous (on result; separate Alito opinion).

ABC v. Aereo (copyright protection against Internet broadcast of television program)—Breyer ruling; 6-3 victory for ABC/copyright holders; Scalia dissent. Huge loss for Aereo.

Fifth Third (ERISA issue)—Breyer opinion; unanimous
