POS 359--The Current Supreme Court Term
In class today, Tuesday 2/9, I did not do the Supreme Court's recent habeus cases, but instead talked more about the Citizens United case. I went over the commentary regarding whether this decision will make a big difference in elections, or not such a big difference; how this decision will affect other issues not directly decided, such as foreign influence in our elections, application to labor unions, and the continuing validity such prior cases as Buckley; and some proposed fixes, both constitutional and statutory, of those who want to limit the reach of the Citizens United decision. The assignment for Thursday 2/11 is to finish your paper on the Citizens United case; your paper is due at the beginning of class on Thursday.
