POS 359--The Current Supreme Court Term
In class today, Thursday 1/28, we finished our discussion of the Wood case, paying particular attention to the battle of the footnotes between Justices Sotomayor and Stevens. We began our discussion of the Citizens United case, and the commentary surrounding it. We will continue with the Citizens United case next week. The additional assignment for Tuesday, February 2 is to read the following excerpts from the Citizens United opinion (which can be found on the Supreme Court website, as we've previously accessed it): from Justice Kennedy's opinion, pp. 20-32 (as the pages are numbered within the opinion--pages 27-39 of the entire pdf page numbering); from Justice Stevens' dissent, pp.1-3 and 23-56 (pdf 88-90;110-143). These sections focus on the First Amendment rights of corporations.
