SCOTUS - Expressions Hair Design v. Schneiderman
1 hour, 5 minutesThe Supreme Court unanimously ruled that a New York state law which prevents businesses from telling shoppers they are imposing a surcharge on credit card purchases is a speech regulation. New York businesses challenging the law want to be able to tell customers that they will charge extra for using a credit card. Under the law, it's okay for a business to reduce the price if the customer pays cash, but against the law to raise the same price if a customer pays with a credit card. Chief Justice Roberts in his opinion for the Court wrote, "The law tells merchants nothing about the amount they are allowed to collect from a cash or credit card payer. Instead, it regulates how sellers may communicate their prices." The case now heads back to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York City for further review in light of the Supreme Court's decision. The Second Circuit Court originally upheld the law without addressing the First Amendment speech issue raised by retailers.

County of Los Angeles v, Mendez
1 hour, 0 minuteThe U.S. Supreme Court sided with the police overturning a lower court ruling awarding $4 million in damages to a homeless couple who sued after being shot 15 times in a backyard shack by Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies.
