- Justices rule against Maryland woman fighting involuntary hospitalization
The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 against a Maryland woman challenging her involuntary hospitalization, citing the Rooker-Feldman doctrine to block federal court review of a state court settlement. The majority, led by Justice Sotomayor, held that federal courts cannot overturn state court judgments in such cases, while dissenting justices argued the decision expanded the doctrine beyond its historical scope.
