Daily Links, June 25: Supreme Court decisions galore!

The Supreme Court was busy today, issuing rulings on a number of cases. Among the decisions: juveniles cannot be given sentences of life without parole [1], Montana's law limiting campaign finances [2] was overturned, and much (though not all) of Arizona's controversial immigration law was struck down [3].

However, it appears that the much-anticipated decision [4] on the Affordable Care Act will not come until Thursday. A new poll shows that though most Americans oppose the entire health care law, despite agreeing with many of its provisions [5]. And, hear from one voice optimisitc that the law will stand [6].

Now that the verdict has been reached in William Lynn's trial, hear from local Catholics in Philadelphia [7] as they respond to the news, and reflection on what the ruling means for the church [8].

The Vatican has taken a step in fixing what it labeled a PR problem: hiring Fox News correspondent Greg Burke [9] to help keep everyone on message.
