For Monday

Tuesday audio. Under Color Reax papers due at the beginning of class Tuesday. Reminder that you must write on under color and the issues discussed in Chapter 2 (you don't know enough to write about stuff later in the class); Puzzles that we did not cover in class are fair game; argument cases that you are not otherwise assigned are fair game (although not applicable here). And there is a lot of stuff on this topic, so it should be very easy to find recent case(s) to write about--if you go down that path, spend most of your time on the law and application.

Move to Enforcing the Constitution, Part A of Chapter 3. We will not be getting deep into constitutional doctrine, only getting a sense of the basic rights enforceable.

    • How does the Supremacy Clause connect to § 1983?

    • How does the evolution of constitutional law explain the increase in § 1983 activity in modern times?

    • What does "due process" entail? What multiple pieces does "substantive due process" entail?
