During the summer of 2000 the high court released a number of momentous decisions, ruling on "partial birth abortions," the Boy Scouts's ban on gays, the Miranda warning, California's "Blanket" primary, and hate crime sentencing standards. In the Stenberg, Attorney General of Nebraska, et al. v. Carhart case, the court issued its most important abortion-related decision in years, striking down a Nebraska law that banned "partial-birth abortion" without an exception for the woman's health. The court ruled 5-4 that this failure to include an exception placed an "undue burden" on a woman's right to choose. As always, the full text of the syllabi and both opinions in all of these cases can be read in HTML or .pdf format at the Legal Information Institute at Cornell Law School Supreme Court Collection site.
