This article is very useful for looking more closely at what it takes for a voter law to be considered unconstitutional and the steps it takes for that law to be appealed. This article talks about the Texas law that put harder restrictions on voter ID laws and how a Supreme Court judge ruled that the law was unconstitutional.

The Defense of Marriage Act was deemed unconstitutional by a New York district judge. A women whose wife passed was left an estate, upon other things. The government, because of DOMA, did not acknowledge the women's spouses wishes.

We have all heard about "Obamacare". Here's a look at what the arguments are all about. Is the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act unconstitutional or lawful? Can the government force every legal citizen to buy insurance? Or does that over-step the rights of its very citizens? It seems, the answer lies in interpretation.

There will be five court cases heard by the supreme court about legalizing same-sex marriage. Several courts have legalized the marriages but 39 states still prohibit it. The DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act), which prevents federal governments from recognizing same sex marriage and allows each state the choice to do so as well, has been found unconstitutional in eight federal courts with two court appeals.

On April 23, 2010 Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signed Senate Bill 1070 into law. The controversial bill gives Arizona law enforcement the authority to stop people whom officers have "reasonable suspicion" of being in the country illegally, detain these individuals while verifying immigration status, and arrest undocumented immigrants for transfer to ICE custody. Depending on who you ask, the controversial bill is either anti-immigrant, unconstitutional or a blessing.

In February 2011, Congress is due to review expiring USA Patriot Act provisions, surveillance laws that are unconstitutional or have been abused to spy on innocent people.

A legal suit challenging the repeal of the "dont' ask, don't tell" policy was thrown out. Log Cabin Republicans filed suit saying the policy was unconstitutional and could leave future service members vulnerable to violations if congress re-enacted the policy. The ninth circuit made the ruling saying that predicting future congress acts are impossible.
