Name and give a two- line summary of three cases being considered in this session of the Supreme Court?

If you are the parent of a 13 year old suspected by the police of criminal activity, would you expect to be notified before your child is questioned? And, before the interview takes place, would you want your teenager to know that he or she could chose between answering questions or remaining silent?

These questions are raised by a case -- known as J.D.B. v. North Carolina -- that started in Orange County District Court and is now being considered by the United States Supreme Court. Here is how a leading blog covering the Supreme Court frames the legal issue: "Criminal suspects are entitled to Miranda warnings if they are questioned while in police custody. A person generally is considered to be 'in custody' if a reasonable person in the same circumstances would believe that he was not free to leave. The question is whether courts should consider the age of a juvenile suspect in deciding whether he is in custody for Miranda purposes."

ACLJ Lawsuit Challenging ObamaCare Grounded in the Constitution

In a brief filed with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, we argue the individual mandate, which forces Americans to purchase health insurance, is unconstitutional: "There is no American tradition of forcing unwilling individuals to operate a business or buy a good or service in the name of 'regulating commerce,' and it is not a coincidence that the Supreme Court's Commerce Clause cases upholding regulation under the 'substantial effects' test have involved the regulation of ongoing commercial or economic activities, unlike Section 1501. Nothing in law or logic supports Defendants' novel extension of this federal regulatory authority to mere inaction, decisions, or thought processes that relate to an economic topic."
