  • New York legislators have introduced a medical marijuana bill despite the fact that Gov. Cuomo has said that he is not in favor of such legislation. 
  • Bitcoin is becoming increasingly popular in Europe as more people seek ways to keep governments away from their money. 
  • New Zealand could follow the U.K.'s example and introduce a regulator for the press. 
  • For the second year running Californian regulations have prevented the sale of kosher Coca-Cola. 
  • Gay couples could face higher taxes if the Supreme Court rules that DOMA violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution. 
  • A prohibition-era law is still on the books in Pennsylvania that forbids alcohol bought outside its borders from being brought in.
