The court, 8-1, said the victims did not properly serve notice of their lawsuit to the government of Sudan. The decision clears the way for lower courts to throw out the more than $314 million default judgment that was awarded to the families. The case arose from the bombing of the USS Cole, in which 17 US Navy sailors were killed and 42 were wounded when a boat pulled up alongside the USS Cole and exploded while docked at the port of Aden, Yemen.
The US does not accept such service in its embassies abroad and a ruling in favor of the challengers would complicate foreign relations, Justice Department attorney Erica Ross argued. "The United States has embassies all over the world," she said, and"deputizing each of those to accept service on behalf of the United States is quite problematic.

Supreme Court to Deliberate Fate of Partisan Gerrymandering—AgainA case of North Carolina’s district lines drawn by Republicans, along with a case from Maryland where Democratic map makers have been under fire, finally could prompt the justices either to impose nationwide limits on partisan redistricting—or remove the federal courts entirely as a referee. Surely hope so. Should the UN start monitoring the North Carolina election process. They’re as bad as a North Korean sham Presidential election. NOW---WE WILL SEE--If all this fighting and political dirty tricks by the 'ReTHUGlicans' to get 'THEIR GOOD OLE BOYS' on the SC will pay off!!! IF this court fails to uphold voter rights/OR passes it back to the states!!!---THEY WIN!! USA LOSES!!

Supreme Court again tackles whether to stop partisan gerrymanderingThe Supreme Court on Tuesday will not have to debate whether a group of North Carolina politicians deliberately redrew election maps to give their party the maximum partisan advantage. The state’s Republican leaders admitted to doing exactly that. Don't worry, the stacked Supreme Court will figure out a way to let them off the hook regardless. Instead the question before the court — for the second time in as many years — is whether the high court believes extreme partisan gerrymandering is unconstitutional. Don't matter bring all the facts what it comes down to it it is all about party

Supreme Court won’t hear appeal from company resisting Mueller subpoenaThe foreign-owned corporation faces daily fines for not cooperating with grand jury. I don't get this either. Although I always knew nothing would be done to Trump. The US President is above the law while in office, so folks, elections matter a hell of lot more than you think. Unless he actually commits treason, he is safe from all till he is out. Something seems fishy...if there is still an ongoing legal battle about this, how can the MuellerReport be complete? A day late, a dollar short, no?
