MorningStar Fellowship Church v. York County, South Carolina, et al.

I. Whether 28 U.S. Code § 1658 (a), which provides a 4-year statute of limitations for federal causes of actions passed into law after 1990, which applies a traditional “measuring-stick” analysis to determine compliance, will now be applied in a manner that does not measure the time between the date of filing, and the date of the event complained of, to determine if the event complained of occurred within four years of the date of filing. II. Whether the "continuing violation doctrine," recognized by this court in National Railroad Passenger Corp. v. Morgan, 536 U.S. 101 (2002) which, under certain circumstances allows a plaintiff in civil rights cases to go back and include certain events in a current action which might otherwise be barred by the statute of limitations, will now be expanded to reverse traditional statute of limitations analysis, to allow a defendant to go back in time, select an arbitrary beginning point, and bar certain future events occurring more than four years after that beginning point, and even bar future transgressions by a defendant that have not yet occurred.
