The U.S. Supreme Court said Monday that it will consider the amount of legal immunity that U.S. military contractors enjoy in war zones, taking up an appeal from a soldier permanently injured in a suicide bombing at an airbase in Afghanistan. The justices will review a decision throwing out a lawsuit brought under state law by former U.S. Army Specialist Winston Hencely claiming that Virginia-based Fluor Corp. failed to supervise an Afghan national working as one of its subcontractors.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday agreed to take up a Fourth Amendment case dealing with the kinds of situations in which police can enter a home without a search warrant because they suspect an ongoing emergency poses a danger to someone. The high court said it would hear the appeal of William Trevor Case, who was shot by police in his Montana home during a suspected "suicide-by-cop" episode and later convicted of assaulting a police officer.

By a narrow vote, the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday turned down an appeal challenging the constitutionality of a state's ban on AR-15 semiautomatic rifles, while signaling the justices will likely review the issue soon. The high court said it would not hear the case Snope v. Brown asking whether Maryland's prohibition violates the Second Amendment's guarantee of the right to bear arms. The weapons have been banned in the state since 2013.

BREAKING: Retired Supreme Court Justice David Souter has died. He was 85. #SCOTUS https://t.co/OeqZX81LvM
"It is well established that the Fifth Amendment entitles aliens to due process of law in deportation proceedings." -- conservative Justice Antonin Scalia, writing for the Supreme Court in Reno v. Flores (1993) #SCOTUS
The right of “due process” is to protect citizens from their government, not to protect foreign trespassers from removal. Due process guarantees the rights of a criminal defendant facing prosecution, not an illegal alien facing deportation.
