POS 359--The Current Supreme Court Term
In class today, Tuesday 3/23, we began with an excursion into the constitutionality of the new health care law. Regarding the McDonald assignment, I stressed that part of that assignment is to not just describe the questioning during the oral argument of the case, but to also give the point of the questions. I then went over 2 recent Supreme Court cases that touched on practice in the federal courts, Hertz v. Friend, (3/2/2010) regarding federal diversity jurisdiction, and Reed Elsevier v. Muchnick (3/2/2010) regarding federal subject matter jurisdiction. The assignment for Thursday 3/25 is to complete the previously assigned McDonald paper, which is due at the beginning of class (9:30) on Thursday.
