Court Expected to Rule on School Race Case
June 28, 2007
WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court is expected to issue rulings Thursday, including one about the use of race to assign students to public schools.
Thursday’s session, which is to begin at 10 a.m. EDT, will likely be the justices’ last until October.
In addition to the schools ruling, the court has not yet handed down a decision in the appeal of a Texas death row inmate whose lawyers argue should be spared from execution because he is mentally ill.
A dispute between a manufacturer of women’s clothing and a retailer is the other case yet to be decided this term.
Retirements often are announced at the end of a term. Five of the nine justices are at least 70 years old, but no retirements are expected.
