The Supreme Court turned away a legal challenge of the phrase “Under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance on Monday and also took the following actions:

• Ruled that a former dispatcher for the Pennsylvania State Police can sue over sexual harassment even though she quit her job. However, the court sent the case back to lower court, saying the police did not have an adequate opportunity to defend itself.
• Ordered a lower court to determine whether Holocaust survivors and heirs could sue the French national railroad for transporting 72,000 Jews and others to Nazi concentration camps during World War II.
• Ruled that Arizona taxpayers have constitutional grounds to sue in federal court on claims that the state’s income tax credits, granted for donating money for private school education, might improperly promote religion.
• Agreed to consider whether police in Simi Valley, Calif., went too far in questioning an unarmed woman and searching her home. The home was believed to be occupied by members of the West Side Locos gang, including a man suspected in a shooting.
• Agreed to hear an appeal from a former girls’ basketball coach who says federal law gives him a right to sue on claims he was unjustly fired after complaining that his players received inferior facilities and equipment than the boys’ teams.
• Declined to consider an appeal in which former U.S. hostages in Iran say a $33 billion lawsuit over their detention and torture more than 20 years ago should be reinstated.
• Rejected a lawsuit that said federal officials didn’t do enough to safeguard 2 million acres of potential wilderness in Utah from off-road vehicles.
• Overturned a lower court ruling that allowed foreign buyers to sue foreign companies over alleged antitrust violations of international price-fixing in U.S. courts.
