Context paragraphs:
Yamataya v. Fisher: Yamataya v. Fisher, 189 U.S. 86 (1903) , popularly known as the Japanese Immigrant Case, is a US Supreme Court case on the US government's power to exclude and deport certain classes of alien immigrants under the Immigration Act of 1891.  The Supreme Court held that the courts may not interfere with a pending deportation unless the administrative hearing was unfair.  However, deportation procedures are subject to constitutional scrutiny, under the Due Process Clause.

State Religious Freedom Restoration Acts: The Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) is a federal law that was passed almost unanimously by the U.S. Congress in 1993 and signed into law by President Bill Clinton.  The law mandates that religious liberty of individuals can only be limited by the "least restrictive means of furthering a compelling government interest".  Originally, the federal law was intended to apply to federal, state, and local governments.  In 1997, the U.S. Supreme Court in "City of Boerne v. Flores" held that the Religious Freedom Restoration Act only applies to the federal government but not states and other local municipalities within them.  As a result, 21 states have passed their own RFRAs that apply to their individual state and local governments.

Betts v. Brady: Betts v. Brady, 316 U.S. 455 (1942), was a landmark United States Supreme Court case that denied counsel to indigent defendants when prosecuted by a state.  It was famously overruled by "Gideon v. Wainwright".

Rodríguez v. Popular Democratic Party: Rodríguez v. Popular Democratic Party, 457 U.S. 1 (1982) , was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States heard on appeal from the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico whether Puerto Rico may by statute vest in a political party the power to fill an interim vacancy in the Puerto Rico Legislature.  The Supreme Court of Puerto Rico held that such a procedure did not violate the United States Constitution, and the US Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico.  The case was of some interest to close followers of the Court as it featured the one and only return of former associate justice, Abe Fortas, now in private practice, at oral argument on behalf of the appellee.

Stephen Halbrook: Stephen P. Halbrook is a Senior Fellow at the Independent Institute and an author and lawyer known for his litigation on behalf of the National Rifle Association.  He has written extensively about the original meanings of the Second Amendment and the Fourteenth Amendment (the latter as applied to Second Amendment rights).  He has argued and won three cases before the US Supreme Court: "Printz v. United States", "United States v. Thompson-Center Arms Company", and "Castillo v. United States".  He has also written briefs in many other cases, including the Supreme Court cases "Small v. United States" (pertaining to the Gun Control Act of 1968) and "McDonald v. Chicago".  In "District of Columbia v. Heller", he wrote a brief on behalf of the majority of both houses of Congress.  More broadly, his decades of research on the Second Amendment contributed to the intellectual foundation of the "Heller" decision.  He has written many books and articles on the topic of gun control, some of which have been cited in Supreme Court opinions ("Heller", "McDonald", "Printz v. United States").  He has testified before congress on multiple occasions.  Halbrook’s most important scholarly contribution, however, was the book "That Every Man Be Armed", originally published in 1986.  The book was the most thorough analysis of the legal history and original intent of the Second Amendment.

Boerne, Texas: Boerne ( ) is a city in and the county seat of Kendall County, Texas, United States, within the Texas Hill Country.  Boerne was named in honor of a Jewish-German author and publicist.  The population of Boerne was 10,471 at the 2010 census.  The city is noted for the landmark U.S. Supreme Court case "City of Boerne v. Flores".  Founded in 1849 as Tusculum, the name was changed to Boerne when the town was platted in 1852.

Roberts v. City of Boston: Roberts v. Boston, 59 Mass. (5 Cush.)  198 (1850), was a court case seeking to end racial discrimination in Boston public schools.  The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled in favor of Boston, finding no constitutional basis for the suit.  The case was later cited by the US Supreme Court in "Plessy v. Ferguson", which established the "separate but equal" standard.

City of Boerne v. Flores: City of Boerne v. Flores, 521 U.S. 507 (1997) , was a US Supreme Court case concerning the scope of Congress's enforcement power under Section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment.  The case also had a significant impact on historic preservation.

Aptheker v. Secretary of State: Aptheker v. Secretary of State, 378 U.S. 500 (1964) , was a landmark United States Supreme Court case on the right to travel and passport restrictions as they relate to Fifth Amendment due process rights and First Amendment free speech, freedom of assembly and freedom of association rights.  It is the first case in which the US Supreme Court considered the constitutionality of personal restrictions on the right to travel abroad.

Evans v. Jordan: Evans v. Jordan, 13 U.S. 199 (1815) , was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held that someone who had copied a patented invention after the patent had expired, and before the patent was restored by a private bill, would be liable for damages for patent infringement for any use continuing after the patent was restored.  It was the second published Supreme Court decision on patent law, and the first of four Supreme Court cases dealing with the Oliver Evans flour mill patent.  Like other Supreme Court patent cases prior to "Evans v. Eaton", however, this case did not deal with substantive patent law, but only with issues of statutory construction and infringement liability.
