The Supreme Court on Thursday added 11 cases to its docket, including ones on redistricting, judicial elections and discrimination in housing and employment, the New York Times reports. The court, which will return to the bench on Monday, took no action on seven petitions urging it to hear cases on same-sex marriage. The cases it did agree to hear will be argued this winter and are likely to be decided by the end of June. The case on judicial elections is a challenge to bans on personal solicitations of campaign contributions by candidates for judicial office.
