      <title>[United States v. Windsor] Oral Argument</title>
      <description>The Supreme Court heard oral argument in [United States v. Windsor], the challenge to the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). At issue was whether the Court had jurisdiction to rule on the federal government's case, and whether the House Republican leaders as defenders of DOMA had Article III "standing" to pursue their appeal. After arguments on jurisdiction, issues of the constitutionality of section III of DOMA were addressed. Lawyers argued over the requirement in the law that limited the definition of marriage to a union between a man and woman, thus denying federal spousal rights to same-sex marriages conferred on couples in states where the practice had been made legal.</description>

      <description>The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on the third of the four cases challenging the 2010 health care law.

      <description>Panelists previewed Supreme Court oral arguments on the constitutionality of the 2010 health care law, focusing on its requirement that all Americans buy health insurance.

Akhil Amar and Neal Katyal disagreed, with Mr. Katyal arguing that health care differs because everyone will have to use health care services at some point in their lives. Following their discussion,, they answered questions from the audience.</description>

Mr. Hughes served two Supreme Court terms, the second as chief justice, and was a two-term governor and the secretary of state. Video clips included Mr. Patryk showing artifacts in Mr. Hughes' former New York City law offices, Mr. Hughes speaking on December 31, 1940, and swearing in President Roosevelt, and Chief Justice Roberts discussing his legacy. Newsreels from 1937 showed the justices and a fireside chat from President Roosevelt about packing the Supreme Court.

      <title>[Florida v. Department of Health and Human Services]</title>
      <description>A three-judge panel at the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta  heard oral argument in [Florida v. the Department of Health and Human Services]. The case challenged the 2010 health care law and was brought by 26 states that had banded together in opposition to the law's requirement that everyone have health insurance. The states' argument was that Congress had exceeded its authority and was infringing on the 10th Amendment. A lower district court judge agreed with the argument and voided the entire health care law after ruling that individual insurance mandates were unconstitutional.</description>

      <title>Supreme Court Partial Birth Abortion Ban Oral Arguments</title>
      <description>Justices heard oral arguments on two cases involving partial birth abortions. At 10 a.m. the justices heard arguments in [Gonzales v. Carhart, et al.]. At 11 a.m., they heard [Gonzales v. Planned Parenthood Federation of America, et al.] The Court will decide the constitutionality of the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003. It prohibits a doctor from knowingly performing a partial-birth abortion. The act contains an exception for cases in which an abortion is necessary to preserve the life of the mother, but no exception for the health of the mother. Congress made factual findings before passing the act, including that a partial-birth abortion is never medically necessary to preserve the health of the mother.
 
 Priscilla Smith argued for physicians, including Leroy Carhart. Eve Gartner and Therese Stewart argued for Planned Parenthood.

      <title>[Hamdan v. Rumsfeld] Oral Argument</title>
      <description>Government and plaintiff attorneys presented oral arguments in [Hamdan v. Rumsfeld] on the constitutionality of using military commissions to try al-Qaida members accused of war crimes. Among the issues addressed were precedents for using military commissions and tribunals, whether a state of war existed under which war crimes could be tried, and [habeas corpus].
 
 Salim Ahmed Hamdan, a Yemen native, served as the driver and aide to Osama Bin Laden until he was captured in Afghanistan and subsequently detained at the U.S. Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. He filed a petition of [habeas corpus] to challenge his confinement. In July 2005 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled against Hamdan, saying Congress had authorized the president to set up special tribunals. The court also ruled that detainees could not appeal based on violations of international treaties, such as the Geneva Conventions.
 
 Chief Justice Roberts recused himself from this case. He heard the case while on the D.C. Court of Appeals.
 
 This program contained audio released by the court immediately after the arguments were presented with still images of participants as they spoke. 
 
 On Thursday, June 29, 2006, the Court ruled that Congress did not take away the Court's authority to rule on the validity of military commissions. It also held that President Bush did not have the authority to set up the tribunals at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and that military commissions are illegal under both military justice law and the Geneva Convention.</description>

      <title>[Rumsfeld v. FAIR] Oral Argument</title>
      <description>Following some court business including the release of an opinion by Justice Thomas and admissions to the Supreme Court Bar, attorneys made oral arguments in the case of [Rumsfeld v. Forum for Academic and Institutional Rights]. The case revolved around the constitutionality of the Solomon Amendment, a federal law that requires universities to allow military recruitment on campus or lose federal funds. Solicitor General Paul Clement argued for the Department of Defense. Joshua Rosenkranz argued for the Forum for Academic and Institutional Rights.
 
 A New Jersey federal court rejected FAIR's argument that the Solomon Amendment violated the First Amendment. FAIR contended that universities should not have to allow military recruitment on campus because of the exclusion of homosexuals from the military violated their non-discrimination policies. On appeal, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the lower court and ruled that the law violated the First Amendment by conditioning federal funds on allowing military recruiters on campus. 
 
 Congress originally passed the Solomon Amendment in 1994. The Department of Defense interpreted the amendment as merely requiring schools to give recruiters access to the campus, but not requiring schools to affirmatively assist the recruiters. After September 11, 2001, the Department of Defense (DoD) indicated that it interpreted the amendment to require schools to treat military recruiters in the same way that they treat all other employment recruiters. In 2004, Congress amended the Solomon Amendment to reflect the DoD policy.

      <title>[Ayotte v. Planned Parenthood] Oral Argument</title>
      <description>Attorneys made oral arguments in the case of [Ayotte v. Planned Parenthood of Northern New England]. Justices questioned litigants as they mad arguments about the scope of New Hampshire legislation in question, the nature of emergency and critical decisions by attending physicians, and precedents involving prior abortion decisions.
 
 In June of 2003 the New Hampshire Legislature passed the [New Hampshire Parental Notification Prior to Abortion Act] requiring that the doctor notify the parent of a minor at least 48 hours before performing an abortion. Without parental notification, the doctor can be sued by the minor's parents and face possible criminal charges. A New Hampshire District court ruled that the act was unconstitutional using previous standards set by the Supreme Court in [Planned Parenthood of Southeast Pennsylvania v. Casey] and [Stenberg v. Carhart], which provides that laws may not impose an undue burden on the right to choose abortion. The First Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court's ruling.
