POS 383 CONSTITUTIONAL LAW
In class today, Wednesday 9/21, I distributed two handouts, my versions of the New York and the Prinz opinion (majority, concurrence, and dissent). After reviewing National League of Cities and Garcia, we went through the outline of New York v. US. Along the way, we went over the concepts of following, distinguishing, and overruling precedent. We then outlined the Prinz case. We went through Missouri v. Holland, and along the way went through the organization of the federal court system. We began the facts of Crosby v. NFTC, which is where we'll pick up next week. The assignment for Wednesday 9/28 is to review Crosby and Arizona (through p. 414), previously assigned, and then to read in the text pp. 553-568.
