For this assignment you are to do two things, first, brief the case – after you have read all the opinions! Use the format provided.
Next, listen to the oral argument and write a one page, single-spaced, opinion paper. I want your impressions, not what they said but what did you think of the proceedings, how did the attorneys do? Could you tell the outcome by the questions the justices asked? Did one dominate?
Questions:
1. Summarize the case in one paragraph.
2. Explain the significance of this case.
3. Provide your assessment, using at least two external professional sources, of whether judicial review has served as an adequate check on the actions of congress (as an example, consider cases like Citizens United to get started).
