POS 383 CONSTITUTIONAL LAW
In class today, Wednesday 12/7, we first finished our discussion of separation of powers in foreign affairs by going over the Hamdi case, and then the textbook discussion of the three cases that followed Hamdi. We then turned to the separation of powers in domestic affairs. After looking at the early cases (Wayman and Hampton) that looked for the principle dividing legitimate delegation of Congress' law-making powers from unconstitutional delegation, we went through the Mistretta, Chadha, and Bowsher cases.
The paper on Muslim registration is due at the beginning of the exam at 9:30 on Friday 12/16. The exam is in the same format as Exam #1, and will only cover the material covered since that first exam. It will be from 9:30 - 10:45. If you are missing any handouts, make sure to email me by the night before (8:00 pm on the night of Thursday 12/15) to request them. See you Friday 12/16.
