Savanna Redding talks to media in Safford, Ariz. in this March 2009 photo provided by the ACLU. The 19-year-old hopes a U.S. Supreme Court hearing on Tuesday, April 21, 2009 will ease the pain she feels from an event in eighth grade that's clouded much of her life and set strict guidelines for school administrators. The nation's highest court will hear arguments on whether Safford Middle School officials violated the Fourth Amendment, which prohibits unreasonable searches. Among the questions to be resolved are whether there were reasonable grounds to believe Redding was hiding pills and, even if there were, whether the pills posed a public health threat serious enough to justify a strip search. (AP Photo/ACLU)AP - Savana Redding was 13 years old when she was told to remove her clothes for a strip search by school officials looking for the equivalent of two Advils. And while the humiliation hasn't diminished in the past five and a half years, she hopes the U.S. Supreme Court can do something about the emotional scar.

FILE - In this March 25, 2009 file photo, President Barack Obama, accompanied by Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., arrives on Capitol Hill in Washington.

Scott Applewhite, FILE)AP - Republican Norm Coleman's next and possibly last gambit for regaining his U.S. Senate seat will come before a Minnesota Supreme Court that seems built to his advantage: Five of the seven justices were put there by Republican governors.
