  1. Review: 'Silver Case' is pointless fun

    Anyone seeking an empty-headed, derivative joy ride through crime-comedy conventions could do far worse than "Silver Case," a brisk, good-looking and never dull B movie. With a game cast playing stock types — among them Eric Roberts and Seymour Cassel and their patented brand of twinkling menace — the gleefully pointless genre outing will be a calling card for first-time director Christian Filippella.

  2. The Supreme Court looks at gene patents, worries about biotech

    When the Supreme Court took up the question Monday of <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-pn-supreme-court-patents-human-genes-20130415,0,2991661.story">whether genes could be patented</a>, the justices were clearly concerned about preserving innovation in medicine and biotechnology. But the issue presented by Myriad Genetics' patents on the BRCA genes cuts both ways, leading to a potential split among the justices.

  3. Seeking marriage equality

    Between now and July, the Supreme Court is expected to rule on two cases dealing with same-sex marriage: one testing the constitutionality of California's Proposition 8, the other involving the Defense of Marriage Act, which defines marriage for federal purposes as the union of a man and a woman. Oral arguments in the court last week raised the disheartening possibility that a majority of the court may be unwilling at this time to extend to same-sex marriages the constitutional protection it afforded to interracial marriages four decades ago.

  5. Judging the Voting Rights Act

    Rightly regarded as one of the most lustrous legacies of the civil rights movement, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 outlaws discrimination in voting nationwide, but it also requires that states with a history of denying minorities the right to vote obtain the approval of a federal court or the U.S. Justice Department before changing election procedures. This "preclearance" provision, contained in Section 5 of the act, has been repeatedly reauthorized by Congress &mdash; most recently in 2006, when it was extended for another 25 years by margins of 390 to 33 in the House and 98 to 0 in the Senate.

  6. Goldberg: A ruling on racial progress

    I can only hope that the scourge of racism is finally purged from Stewartstown and Pinkham's Grant. These are two of 10 New Hampshire towns covered by Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which requires local officials to get permission, or "preclearance," on any changes to their election laws.

  7. The Supreme Court mulls a patent over a 'product of life'

    In an <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-kimbrell-monsanto-supreme-court-seed-20130219,0,1947225.story">Op-Ed</a> article for The Times on Tuesday, George Kimbrell and Debbie Barker of the Center for Food Safety present a forceful argument against patents on seeds or any other "product of life."
