: ACS Blog2 SCOTUS Decisions: Election Law and Tax
The U.S. Supreme Court issued decisions in New York State Board of Education v. Lopez Torres (opinion) and Knight v. Commissioner of Revenue (opinion). The Court upheld New York state's system of selecting state judges (which does not use a primary) and held that investment advisory fees paid by a trust cannot be deducted in full on federal tax returns, according to SCOTUSBlog.
In this video excerpt from ACS' 2007-2008 Supreme Court Preview, Paul Smith, a partner with Jenner & Block, provided a preview of Lopez Torres.
James Sample of the Brennan Center for Justice, who helped represent the plaintiffs, wrote this guest blog post on Lopez Torres in July 2006.
SCOTUSBlog has more coverage of both decisions here.
