jan crawford's at the supreme court with thes at stake. gooderning. >> good morning. this is the last term of the supreme court before they go off on their three-month summer recess. tht i go off to teach and give lectures. you mentioned the one we're all floiling. hobby lobby. it involves the challenge to keep president obama's reform law. you remember it was two years ago the justices upheld the major part of the law, the underpinnings of the law, requiring everything to have insurance or pay a penalty. it looks is the law to require employers to offer insurance plans that includes contraceptives. and this keppel who owns hobby lobby, they're challenging it saying it violates their believes because some of the contraceptives, they think, like morning after pill are akin to abortion and they do not believe in a woman's right to have an abortion. they're challenging the right of the violation of the first amendment. the other involves union dues and mandatory requirement that you would pay union dues. this is kind of ale case. if the court rules broadly in this case a

jan crawford is at the supreme court with the first decision that came out moments ago. jan, good morning and what is the first decision? >> reporter: charlie, the first one is a very important case about labor unions. it involved a group of illinois home health care workers. they challenged a rule that required them to basically join a union and pay union dues. they said that violated their first amendment rights. today the court in a 5-4 decision written by justice samuel alito agreed. the four liberals dissented but this decision was seen by many as a potentially landmark case that could have delivered a crippling blow to labor unions. the justice did not write a decision that broad, it is more narrow. it would apply to these independent kind of contractors only and not extend to the full time full-fledged public employees who still will have to pay union dues. had the court gone more broadly, this would have been a major case that could have dealt a devastating blow to labor unions across the country. the other case that you mentioned, that's the one we're still waiti

jan crawford is at the supreme court with a look at this victory for privacy rights. so, jan, how sweeping do you think this ruling is? >> reporter: oh, norah, i mean it is broadly written, emphatic, and it is unanimous. all nine justices coming together to declare if police want to search your cell phones when they are making arrests, they have to get a warrant first. the obama administration had argued that police should be able to routinely do this when they are making an arrest like they would go through your wallet or your briefcase. but the justices said cell phones are different. they're like mini computers, the corps said. if you think about it, they can hold everything -- photographs, e-mail, banking records, medical records. of course, all of that -- and i quote from the opinion -- sensitive personal information can form a revealing man life. the same cannot be said of a photograph or two tucked inside your wallet. if they want to search your cell phone, they have to get a certainly warrant. they can't open it. up during an arrest as a fishing expedition. >>

jan crawford is at the court with a look at this ruling that just came out minutes ago. jan, good morning. so how has the court limited the president's power? >> reporter: norah, this really does kale back president obama's power to put people on federal agencies nominate federal officials and going around congress to do so. it limits his power to nominate those people of his choosing when congress is in recess which he had been doing. presidents tend to do that. the courts say obama pushed it too far so this will scale back his power vis-a-vis congress. an important statement on the power of the white house versus congress and all the branches of government norah. >> jan, what other important cases may be coming down? >> reporter: they're on the bench still right now so we don't know what else they'll be handing down today. there are three big cases we're still waiting on. a big one is another challenge to the president's health care reform law. remember the court two years ago upheld a key portion of that law. this is a more narrow question about whether or not the law
