Big day at the court! Might not fit in 3 panels. 5 cases, wih some 5-4, some 3+2 to 4, one 7-2 in one part, 6-3 in another. Scalia was all over the place.
a loss for big pharma in FTC v Actavis, they are less able to buy off generic companies.
The biggest case was arizona tribal counsel, about motor voter and proof of citizenship. too hard to explain here. scalia rules.
justice thomas finally met a right to jury trial case he likes -alleyne v usa. mandatory minimums are the minimum mandatory now, but still require a jury. breyer switched his vote.
mariachi v spears was about car buyers right to privacy in lawsuits.
you have the right to remain silent, unless you're a poor mexican taken downtown, in Salinas v Texas. 3+2 to 4, scalia and thomas said just go ahead and hang him.
