2 SCOTUS Decisions: Election Law and Tax
The U.S. Supreme Court issued decisions in New York State Board of Education v. Lopez Torres (opinion) and Knight v. Commissioner of Revenue (opinion). The Court upheld New York state's system of selecting state judges (which does not use a primary) and held that investment advisory fees paid by a trust cannot be deducted in full on federal tax returns, according to SCOTUSBlog.
