Supreme Court rules on several issues

The Supreme Court ruled on several issues:
1) The court ruled against the families of 9/11 who were suing Motorola and the city of New York over the effectiveness of the walkie talkies. The court ruled that the families gave up the right to sue once they accepted money from the September 11th Fund.
2) The court ruled in favor of Oregon's Assisted suicide law. The Bush Administration had argued that this was in violation of federal law.
3)The court allows state to remove life support from a child. The state took legal custody after the father was found to have abused the child. If the child dies the father could face murder charges.
