The US Supreme Court dealt a blow to President Barack Obama, deadlocking on whether to overrule a lower court that barred the White House from shielding millions of undocumented immigrants living illegally in the US.  It effectively kills Mr. Obama's immigration reform plans for the rest of his term.  The court ruled 4-4, because the Republican-controlled US Senate has refused to hold hearings on the President's nominee to replace ultra-right wing Justice Antonin Scalia, who died earlier this year.

A Los Angeles jury inexplicably ruled that Led Zeppelin somehow did not plagiarize the opening chords of "Stairway to Heaven", which are nearly identical to those of the song "Taurus" released four years earlier, written by the legendary Randy California of the band Spirit.  In between the two releases, Spirit played the song live while on tour with Led Zeppelin.  But during the trial, Zep members testified that they wrote it at a country estate in the UK, and that the actual chords had been around fo ever, used in various songs for 500 years.  Randy California died in 1997, and his estate initiated the dispute years afterwards.
