What to say about this week's Court decisions? Luckily, Stanford Law Professor Pam Karlan said it all today for The American Constitution Society, commenting on the Roberts Court:
[T]his term we saw the Court announce the first amendment applies to corporations, in the Wisconsin Right to Life case, but not to students, in the Bong Hits 4 Jesus case. We saw the court announce that we should be deferential to state trial judges in criminal cases but not to democratically-elected local school boards in the schools cases. So if this is the birth of a new constitutional era, all I say is what an ugly baby.Johnny, you're doing a heck of a job.
