Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: The Supreme Court has decided not to get involved again in fire departments' hiring and promotion disputes. 
  
 The high court on Monday turned away appeals involving departments in New Haven, Conn. and New Jersey's Hudson County. 
  
 Justices ruled in 2010 that New Haven violated white firefighters' civil rights by throwing out an exam in which no African-Americans scored high enough to be promoted to lieutenant or captain. The court on Monday refused to stop a lawsuit against the city from African American firefighters who say that exam was unfair. The case now goes back to trial court. 
  
 The court also refused to hear an appeal from North Hudson Regional Fire & Rescue, which was sued over its requirement that prospective firefighters live in one of five Hudson County towns. ||||| The U.S. Supreme Court will not reinstate a lawsuit against former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and other government officials for the imprisonment of a man declared an "enemy combatant." 
  
 The high court on Monday refused to hear an appeal from Jose Padilla and his mother, Estela Lebron. 
  
 Padilla wanted to sue former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, current Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, former prison commander Catherine T. Hanft and several other officials. But the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in January that Congress, not the court system, has jurisdiction over military detention cases. 
  
 Padilla, a U.S. citizen, was eventually convicted of supporting terrorism in Kosovo, Bosnia and Chechnya and is serving a 17-year sentence in a federal prison in Colorado. ||||| The U.S. Supreme Court is declining to take a new look at the rights of foreign prisoners held for the past decade at the Guantanamo Bay naval base in Cuba. 
  
 Four years after pronouncing that detainees who face no charges have a right to challenge their confinement, the justices on Monday rejected appeals arguing that a federal appeals court has largely ignored the high court's command. 
  
 The appeals court has not ordered the release of any detainee and has reversed several lower court release orders. In addition, some appellate judges have been unusually critical of the Supreme Court's 2008 decision in Boumediene v. Bush. 
  
 There are 169 foreigners remaining at Guantanamo, including the five men who are facing military trials for their roles in the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. |||||

The Supreme Court put the kibosh on a lawsuit questioning whether Barack Obama was born in the United States today, shooting down the appeal without comment. The suit was brought by Alan Keyes and Wiley Drake, third-party presidential contenders who argued Obama wasn't eligible to compete, the AP reports. A lower court had already thrown out the suit, and the justices refused to revive it. The court also refused to hear a case from Guantanamo detainees, who say federal courts have ignored the high court's declaration that they are allowed to challenge their detention. In a similar vein, the court shot down a request from former detainee Jose Padilla to reinstate a lawsuit against Donald Rumsfeld, Leon Panetta, and others. Finally, it decided to avoid getting involved in the latest chapter of the New Haven firefighter case, refusing to block a lawsuit from black firefighters against the city.
