OHIO ELECTIONS COMMISSION Political expression is at the core of the First Amendment's right of free speech. But the government has an interest in ensuring that political expression is neither fraudulent nor libelous. Ohio chose to protect its interest by prohibiting the distribution of anonymous campaign literature. The Supreme Court is asked to decide if Ohio has gone too far. SCHLUP v. DELO What if a person has been convicted of capital murder and sentenced to death but discovers, some years later, evidence that supports a claim of actual innocence? Should the federal courts give the person an opportunity to present this evidence and, if so, how much evidence and of what sort must the person put forth in order to be heard? UNITED STATES V. X-CITEMENT VIDEO, INC. It is unlawful to knowingly use interstate commerce to traffic in child pornography. In this case, the Supreme Court is asked to decide if a conviction requires the government to prove that the defendant knew that at least one of the performers in a pornographic depiction was under the age of 18 at the time the depiction was made.
