Does a law banning the sale of images of animal cruelty violate the speaker’s First Amendment right to the freedom of speech?
McDonald v. City of Chicago
Does the Second Amendment right “to keep and bear Arms” apply to state and local governments through the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and thus limit Chicago’s ability to regulate guns?

Did a city police department’s review of an employee’s text messages on a department-issued pager violate his (and the other texters’) Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable searches and seizures?
Florida v. Powell
