Court deposition
ajor Supreme Court cases for the new term
By The Associated Press 55 minutes ago
Highlights of some high-profile cases that the Supreme Court will take up in its term that begins Monday:
Drug maker liability: Vermont musician Diana Levine won a $6.8 million judgment against drugmaker Wyeth after having part of her right arm amputated in 2000 when an anti-nausea drug was injected improperly. Now Wyeth, backed by the Bush administration, wants the high court to rule that Food and Drug Administration regulation of prescription drugs in this case, approval of warning labels for drugs overrides state laws and makes it easier for companies to defend against consumers' claims.
Curse words on the airwaves: In the court's first major broadcast indecency case in 30 years, can the Federal Communications Commission fine broadcast television stations for the one-time use of profanity on live programming? Cher, Nicole Richie and Bono are the celebrities who uttered familiar, but profane words on awards shows. The FCC changed its long-standing policy that exempted such 'fleeting expletives' from being labeled indecent.
Cigarette advertising: The court will decide whether cigarette makers can be sued under state law for allegedly deceptive advertising of 'light' cigarettes
