Major Supreme Court Decisions Due in June

Tuesday, the Supreme Court will begin issuing its final month of opinions for the term. Some are critical, including three on Bush's anti-terror policies:

The court will hand down more than two dozen decisions in June, including whether the words "under God" should remain in the Pledge of Allegiance, whether the Internet should remain free of criminal restrictions and whether pedestrians must identify themselves when a police officer asks them to.

But most legal scholars were focused on the series of cases that test the president's powers to hold terrorism suspects. In three cases, the justices will decide whether the military can hold "enemy combatants" — both foreign and domestic — without filing charges or giving them a hearing.

Predictions, anyone?
