14-1209 | 9th Cir. | Jan 20, 2016 | Mar 22, 2016 | 8-0 | Roberts | OT 2015 |
Holding: The Ninth Circuit's interpretation of Section 103(c) of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, which addresses the scope of the National Park Serviceβs authority over lands within the boundaries of conservation system units in Alaska, to ban hovercrafts on state-owned waters flowing through federally managed preservation areas, is inconsistent with both the actβs text and context.

It's official: In the first-ever SCOTUS bracketology tournament, our readers have chosen CHIEF JUSTICE EARL WARREN as the greatest justice in history. The author of Brown v. Board, Loving v. Virginia, and Miranda v. Arizona defeated top-seeded John Marshall in the final round.
We've reached the final round of SCOTUS bracketology, and two illustrious chief justices are facing off for the championship. One wrote Marbury v. Madison. The other wrote Brown v. Board.

NEW: The Supreme Court will issue opinion(s?) next Thursday April 22. Weβre still waiting on decisions in the ACA case and Fulton v. City of Philadelphia about religious liberty and LGBT rights.
