POS 359--The Current Supreme Court Term
In class today, Tuesday 1/27, I discussed yesterday's 5 Supreme Court decisions. I emphasized two cases, Arizona v. Johnson, (a 4th Amendment case regarding the right of police to frisk passengers in a car even if police did not have reasonable suspicion in the first place that criminal activity was afoot) and Crawford v. Nashville (a Title VII retaliatory firing case in which the Court had to decide what it meant to "oppose" the sexual harassment of the supervisor). The assignment for Thursday 1/29 is to read in Toobin Chapters 20, 21, and 22 ("I know her heart").
CMJ 375--Mass Media Law
In class today, Tuesday 1/27, we finished discussing Chapter 2 of the text, but did not get to Chapter 3 yet. On Thursday 1/29, we will begin with the national security concepts of Chapter 3 and the already-assigned Pentagon Papers case. The additional assignment for Thursday 1/29 is to read the remainder of Chapter 3 of the text, and to read in the casebook the Olivia (p. 53) Winters (p. 55) and Kendrick (p. 58)cases.
