All of them - it's their job:

The Supreme Court of the United States acts as the highest authority in the 3rd branch of our government---the judicial branch. Its job is to interpret the Constitution and in doing so, it decides cases in which there needs to be an important clarification in the law. There are nine justices on the Court and they hear cases that have been appealed through the justice system. Thus, when the Court rules in a case, that ruling is the last resort for the defendants. The Court is an important part of our government, intended to be free from political influence and therefore able to make crucial decisions about the law and how it is applied.

During any given week, there are probably dozens of cases pending in federal courts that involve constitutional issues.

Are you looking for anything in particular?

Or if you just want any Supreme Court or federal Appellate Court case that deals with some area of the Constitution, then browse the recent decision (links below).

Why don't you visit the official site of the US supreme Court and browse under "opinions." Those are the decisions of the Supreme Court judges who always weigh the issues against what the Constitution requires.

Here's a good one:

The Bush administration is trying to bar lawsuits that try to block the federal government from funding religious organizations / activities. This funding would violate the standing precedent separating church and state.

The ACLU just filed a "friend of the court" brief as I understand it.

Find the website for the Supreme Court; that's pretty much all they do.
