POS 383 CONSTITUTIONAL LAW
In class today, Wednesday 11/2, I handed back last week's exams. We then resumed our trip through the commerce clause cases. We started with a brief review of where we had left off, Knight and Hammer v. Degenhart. I talked about some of the textbook cases that I had not assigned: Schechter Poultry (p. 443); Jones & Laughlin (p. 453); and Darby (p. 459). We then went over the assigned cases of Wickard; Heart of Atlanta: Lopez; Morrison; Raich; and NFIB. Along the way we talked about changing personnel on the Court, changing expectations of what kind of experience was needed for the Court, dictum and overruling prior cases, and the Venn diagram of Scalia's concurrence in Raich. The assignment for Wednesday 11/9 is to read in the text pp. 183-212.
