POS 282 INTRODUCTION TO AMERICAN LAW
In class today, Monday 4/1, we first finished our discussion of Caperton. We looked at how Justice Benjamin on the West Virginia Supreme Court had asked the wrong question regarding his recusal, and then discussed the dissenting opinion in the U.S. Supreme Court. We started Gonzales v. Raich, and will pick up with Section V of Stevens' opinion. The assignment for Wednesday 4/3 is to read through p. 105 of the text (Butler).
POS 384 CIVIL LIBERTIES
In class today, Monday 4/1, I shared a flow chart that I had put together of Justice Brennan's opinion in Texas v. Johnson. We went through the majority opinion, and then looked at how the dissenting opinion differed from the majority. We started on Chaplinsky, and got through how Murphy narrowed the question before the Court by using the New Hampshire Supreme Court's interpretation of the state statute involved in the case. The assignment for Wednesday 4/3 is to read through p. 253 of the text.
