TBA TODAY TOP NEWS
Sixth Circuit upholds state's lethal injection process
The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals today vacated a lower court's ruling that Tennessee's lethal injection process is unconstitutional. In 2007, the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee supported a claim by death row inmate Edward Jerome Harbison that the state's lethal injection process violated his Eighth Amendment right. In overturning the decision, the appeals court also vacated an injunction against Harbison's execution. One judge departed from the majority's opinion arguing that the court relied on a recent Supreme Court decision upholding Kentucky's lethal injection process without investigating what differences might exist between Kentucky and Tennessee procedures.

Nashville Chancellor Claudia Bonnyman has agreed to hear the case seeking an injunction to stop the guns-in-bars legislation from taking effect. The lawsuit, which was filed yesterday by 10 Tennessee citizens -- including lead plaintiff and Nashville restaurateur Randy Rayburn -- challenges the legality and the constitutionality of the new legislation. Nashville Attorney David Randolph Smith will appear before Bonnyman on July 7 on behalf of the group, according to the Nashville City Paper.


U.S. Supreme Court closes deeply divided term
With the close of the most recent Supreme Court term, analysts are starting to draw conclusions about trends at the court. NPR's Nina Totenberg reports that "a picture is emerging of a conservative court on a slow but steady march to the right," that also might be the most divided court in modern history.
