The U.S. Supreme Court is prolonging the suspense in several
blockbuster cases. No ruling today in the challenge to the University of
Texas affirmative action policy. Also no ruling today in a case from
Shelby County, Ala., that could decide the future of Section 5 of the
Voting Rights Act — the part that requires Texas and other jurisdictions
with a history of discrimination to seek federal OK before changing any
element of election procedures, from polling sites to voter IDs and
congressional maps. Next day for decisions is Monday. That’s the final day of the Court’s
term, though the justices likely will add another day next week to
issue rulings.
