Tuesday audio. No class on Monday, as you all know better than I do.
Ricardo raised an issue after class: Trump could not act under color of state law because he is a federal official. This is correct. We will get into the different cause of action that are, or might be, available against federal officers; for the moment, assume the cause of action exists. For present purposes, recognize that we apply the same analysis for when someone acts under color of state law and when someone acts under color of federal law. The same issue arises in the Wasatch Equality and Google puzzles in § 2.03.
For Tuesday (not Monday, thank you very much): Prep the rest of Chapter 2. I expect to finish with this on Monday the 27th and transition into RPI.
Also, I will post and assign cases for oral argument next week.
