The U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously on Tuesday that an American woman injured in an Austrian train accident cannot sue the railroad in U.S. courts merely because she purchased her ticket online in the United States. The decision, the first signed opinion of the current term, is the latest in a series of rulings in which the high court has limited the use of U.S. courts as forums for adjudicating wrongs that took place primarily outside the country.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday asked the Obama administration for its views on a controversial case that tests whether a U.S. Border Patrol agent violated the Fourth Amendment when he shot and killed a Mexican teenager standing on Mexican soil. The high court's action in Hernandez v. Mesa is a signal that the justices are interested in the dispute and could grant full review at a later date. Several U.S. government agencies were named parties at earlier stages of the case, but in the appeal now before the court, only the Border Patrol agent is named as a defendant.
