I'm almost of a mind that they should have addressed it, but with the current make up of the court, I probably wouldn't have been happy with the outcome, so this will do. Still, it should be a very interesting Supreme Court session this year.
The Supreme Court began its new term Monday morning by rejecting several cases, including one attempting to force Illinois to issue "Choose Life" license plates.
The high court rejected the case by the anti-abortion group Choose Life Illinois Inc., which leaves in place a federal appeals court ruling that states Illinois officials were within their rights in trying to keep viewpoints on abortion off plates.
The Supreme Court also rejected an appeal to review a Florida law that requires public school students to recite the Pledge of Allegiance each day unless they have their parents' written permission excusing them.
