Emanuel® Law Outlines for Constitutional Law, Forty-First Edition
, by Steve Emanuel focuses on those topics that are important in today’s Constitutional Law courses and includes an abundance of short-answer questions and answers as well as exam tips.
New to the Forty-First Edition:
Coverage of key 2022-2023 Supreme Court developments, including:
Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College
, holding that universities
may no longer take race into account
in making admissions decisions and thus
nullifying traditional affirmative action
in admissions.
Biden v. Nebraska
, a separation-of-powers decision holding that the Biden administration’s
cancellation of up to $400 billion of student loan debt
was invalid under the
“major question” doctrine
. Under that doctrine, a federal agency may act on a major question of
economic or political significance
only if there is
“clear direction” from Congress
allowing that action.
Nat’l Pork Producers Council v. Ross
, a decision reaffirming that even where a state law was not enacted with an intent to discriminate against interstate commerce, the Court will still perform a
rough balancing test
, under which it will find a
dormant Commerce Clause violation
if the
burden
imposed on commerce is
clearly excessive
compared with the
local benefits
.
Counterman v. Colorado
, a free-speech case reaffirming that
threats of violence
are not protected
by the First Amendment
but holding that to treat the making of such a threat as a crime, the prosecution must prove that the speaker acted “
recklessly
,” i.e., that the speaker “
consciously disregarded
” a substantial
risk
that the speech would
cause harm to another
.
Moore v. Harper
, a decision about the meaning of the “
Elections Clause
,” which gives each state legislature the power to determine the
“times, places and manner” of congressional elections
. The Court rejected the
“independent state legislature” theory
, which contended that a state legislature’s power to regulate federal elections was absolute.
