Excerpt:

The Supreme Court’s docket during the October 2011 Term covered a wide range of highly charged, hot-button topics, including television indecency, warrantless GPS surveillance, state regulation of immigration and, of course, the Affordable Care Act. The Court’s coming Term also promises to touch upon a variety of politically explosive issues, such as racial preferences in admissions to state universities and who may challenge the government’s use of electronic surveillance to detect threats, and it is possible that the Court – right in the middle of a presidential election – will grant certiorari and thereby place on its docket cases involving even more politically charged issues, such as same-sex marriage.
