Labor case: The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments Monday in a high-stakes challenge of public-sector unions that arose from the gay marriage debate. The case pits a small group of teachers and Christian Educators Association International against the influential California Teachers Association, which were on opposite sides of the Proposition 8 ballot initiative in California against gay marriage.The lead plaintiff in the case, Rebecca Friedrichs, alleges that California law violates non-union workers' free-speech rights by requiring them to pay “agency fees” toward collective bargaining activities, Reuters reports. The case could put a major dent in labor influence by allowing public workers to stop paying dues to unions.

Fitbit fibbing?: In a proposed class action filed this week, three plaintiffs allege that Fitbit is engaging in unfair trade practices by selling “wildly inaccurate” wrist-based heart monitors that cannot accurately measure heart rate as advertised. As ABA Journal recently reported, Fitbit's website says it requires arbitration of customer disputes and bars class actions, although third-party websites and brick-and-mortar stores have no advance notice of the requirements, according to the suit. According to the complaint filed in San Francisco federal court, Fitbit attempts to bind customers to the company's preferred dispute resolution methods by requiring them to register their products online, a process that requires them to agree to the company's terms of service.

Cruz's eligibility: Donald Trump has brought a lot of renewed attention to the question of whether U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz's foreign birth precludes him from becoming president. After consulting legal experts, the Los Angeles Times has reaffirmed what Cruz has long said on the issue: It is settled as a legal matter that a child born abroad to a U.S. parent is a citizen at birth. But the dispute gave the Times a good reason to go through the history of the constitutional requirement that “no person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President.”
