The U.S. Supreme Court says partisan redistricting is a political question, not one that federal courts can weigh in on.

The Supreme Court is struggling with precedent — and that could have big implications for future cases, with liberals on the side of holding the line and conservatives on the other.

The court struck down a Tennessee alcohol licensing residency requirement, opening up the pathway for big-box stores to enter the market.

The Supreme Court threw out a ban on trademarks with "immoral" or "scandalous" content. That clears the path for a clothing line with a four-letter brand to win a trademark, but what about others?

The blacked-out material involves the drugs used in an Alabama execution. The release of the material was ordered after a motion filed by the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and NPR.

The decision paves the way for a clothing line, FUCT, to get its trademark. But the justices were split on how far is too far and which words they would find to be the most vulgar and profane.

For the second time in weeks, the court's five conservatives teamed up to overturn decades of precedent, to the consternation of the court's four liberals.

The Supreme Court struck down the conviction of a Mississippi man, who has been on death row for 22 years, citing overt bias in jury selection. The court also decided a key eminent domain case Friday.

Curtis Flowers was tried six times for the same crime, and the court said it made its decision because of bias in jury selection. Now it's up to Mississippi whether to try him again.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Thursday that a 40-foot cross could stand on public land in Maryland because of its historical significance as a World War I memorial.

The court is continuing to allow Congress to delegate the details on a law's implementation. But is this decision a harbinger of something quite different?

The Supreme Court ruled that a 40-foot cross on public land in Maryland can stand as a World War I memorial. The cross, which has been there almost 100 years, is maintained at taxpayer expense.

The high court's conservative majority sided with those advocating for "religious freedom" in a major win for groups like the American Legion.

The court decided four cases Monday, and three defied the usual ideological fissures.

Time in the Supreme Court's current term is running out and the justices have a large number of decisions to hand down.

Supreme Court declines to hear appeal from Gitmo detainee but Breyer warns of court consensus unraveling 18 years after 9/11 okayed detentions.

The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and NPR filed a motion to release sealed documents related to an Alabama death penalty case. Sealing documents is an unusual move by the high court.

On Tuesday, by a 7-to-2 vote, the Supreme Court upheld part of an Indiana measure that was signed into law when Vice President Mike Pence was governor of the state.

The court did not take up the part of the law that banned abortions because of fetal abnormality or race or sex of the fetus, which a lower court had knocked down in addition to the burial provision.

Justice Neil Gorsuch, the only Westerner on the court, again provided the decisive vote in favor of American Indian rights.
