Recent Supreme Court opinions can be found at:

Thanks, I checked earlier, but it must have just been posted.

Skimming over it I see the following:

Opinion: Ashcroft was an opponent of assisted suicide, so when he became AG he arbitrarily, and without consulting others he was supposed to (including the state), and without regard to the state's ability to regulate medicine within its borders, interpreted the rule to exclude assisted suicide as a medical action. His interpretation was out of the bounds of his authority under that law.

Dissent: We should always defer to the decisions of federal officials, and goes into playing with dictionary definitions of "medicine" and "prescription," trying to redefine "prescription."
