POS 359--The Current Supreme Court Term
In class today, Thursday 4/30, I first collected the Safford papers for those who did one. I went over two recent Supreme Court decisions, FCC v. Fox regarding the FCC's indecency regulation changes for broadcast media, and Dean v. U.S. regarding the requirement of a mens rea for the accidental discharge of a gun during a bank robbery. We then watched portions of the oral argument in yesterday's Supreme Court argument in the NW Austin M.U.D. v. Holder voting rights case. Have a good summer.
CMJ 375--Mass Media Law
In class today, Thursday 4/30, we went over the concepts in Chapter 10 of the text. I also discussed the constitutional implications of Tuesday's Supreme Court decision in FCC v. Fox. We also discussed an earlier FCC indecency case, FCC v. Pacifica, and two election debate exclusion cases, Arkansas E.T.C. v. Forbes and the Dennis Kucinich v. MSNBC case . Our third exam will be Tuesday May 5 at 8:00 am. The exam will be for 75 minutes, just like our previous exams, and will cover the material in Chapters 7-10, plus any previously discussed material that is relevant to these chapters.
