The first rules that sports betting authorized by states cannot be banned by congress on 10th amendment grounds. I wonder if this might eventually be applied to some of the firearms freedom bills that have been passed in some states.
The other seems a little goofy but the court ruled that a guy who was found with 49 bricks of heroin in his car should probably have the evidence thrown out because the cops did not get a warrant to search the car first on privacy grounds. The cops searched his car based on it being a rental car that he was not an authorized user of. I am a little ambivalent about this one but anything we can get back from previous courts that have all but gutted the 4th amendment I guess I will take. This one is not over as it was sent back to a lower court to review some other aspects of the case.
