Progressive groups point to fears about how the court will handle racial justice, abortion, immigration and the Second Amendment. Besides expanding the court, some have called for term limits, a code of ethics, a more formal and enforceable process for recusals and an expansion of lower courts. Some of those ideas have bipartisan support, though it s not clear where they fit into Biden s broader agenda.
In a move widely seen as an effort to head off a split between liberals and centrists in the party, Biden proposed a commission last fall to study potential changes to federal courts. But the group s status is unclear, and the White House has not responded to questions about its mission or when its members will be named.
Court sides with Google in copyright fight
AP, WASHINGTON
The US Supreme Court on Monday sided with Google in a copyright dispute with Oracle Corp, saying that Google did nothing wrong in copying code to develop the Android operating system now used on most smartphones.
To create Android, which was released in 2007, Google wrote millions of lines of new computer code. It also used about 11,500 lines of code copyrighted as part of Oracle’s Java platform.
Oracle had sued, seeking billions of US dollars.
