Nichole Rice Trial
Nichole Erin Rice is standing trial almost three years to the date of her March 2022, arrest in the death of her roommate, 18-year-old Anita Knutson. Rice was working as a civilian at Minot Air Force Base when she was arrested. Rice is charged with AA felony murder in Knutson's death. Anita Knutson was found stabbed to death in her bed in a Minot, North Dakota apartment on June 4, 2007. The window screen in Knutson's room was cut, but officers said they believed that was done to make the killing look like a break-in. Nothing of value was taken from the bedroom, but a pocket knife with dried blood on it was found near Knutson. At the time of the murder, the two women lived together, though friends said the two had a strained relationship. Rice allegedly made a confession to the murder in 2008 or 2009 to her ex-boyfriend. However, the defense claims a Montana man is responsible for Knutson's death because there were reports of a man who matched his appearance running from the crime scene. If found guilty, Rice could be sentenced to a maximum of life in prison without parole.

Consumers' Research, et al Case No. 24-354. is a case concerning whether the nondelegation doctrine and the Universal Service Fund Tax that subsidizes universal telecommunication access managed by the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The case has been consolidated with Case No. 24-422. Schools, Health and Libraries Broadband Coalition v. Consumers' Research is a case concerning whether . The questions presented are: 1) Whether Congress violated the nondelegation doctrine by authorizing the Commission to determine, within the limits set forth in Section 254, the amount that providers must contribute to the Fund; and 2) Whether the Commission violated the nondelegation doctrine by using the Administrator's financial projections in computing universal service contribution rates; and 3) Whether the combination of Congress's conferral of authority on the Commission and the Commission's delegation of administrative responsibilities to the Administrator violates the nondelegation doctrine. Additionally, the Court asked the parties to argue whether this case is moot in light of the challengers' failure to seek preliminary relief before the Fifth Circuit. The case could determine whether Congress violated the nondelegation doctrine by delegating legislative power to the FCC. The Supreme Court has not relied on the nondelegation doctrine in a decision since 1935.
