Supreme Court Briefing 2009–10 TermACLU lawyers met with the press who cover the Supreme Court in Washington D.C. recently to provide an overview of important cases during the 2009-10 term of the high court. Watch ACLU Legal Director Steven R. Shapiro discuss United States v. Stevens, a case with broad First Amendment concerns.
Peter Eliasberg, managing attorney with the ACLU of Southern California, discusses Salazar v. Buono, a case in which the government is challenging a lower court ruling that a congressional statute transferring a small parcel of land under a cross in the Mojave Desert National Preserve to a private owner failed to resolve a violation of the Establishment Clause.

Given that, please understand that you are responsible for the material you post on the comments portion of this blog. The only postings that we ask that you refrain from posting and that we cannot permit on our website are requests for legal assistance and postings that could cause ACLU to incur legal liability.
One important law in that regard is the prohibition on politically partisan activity. Given our nonprofit status, we may not endorse or oppose candidates for elective office.

We sustain a inflated economy. Yet, large car shows are where manufacturers go to show off their upcoming models, and also concept cars to stoke buzz – and one of the biggest buzzes right now is over the Honda Skydeck concept. The Honda Skydeck concept car was recently unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show, and the thing is spectacular. It's a hybrid, and a minivan, and the front doors are scissor doors, similar to the ones on Lamborghinis. The rear doors slide open, and of course there's the hatch back door common to minivans. It isn't close to being production ready, so please don't take the Honda Skydeck concept as a cue to get car loans ready.
