Given where we finished last night, we will not get to all of the material originally assigned for Monday (Sept. 8). Instead, we will cover political questions (Baker v. Carr and Vieth), the principle of constitutional avoidance (Ashwander), and the practical limitations on the judiciary's authority (supplemental readings and Problem 3), and we will begin (but perhaps not finish) our discussion of McCulloch v. Maryland. Thus, the material on the commerce power will be pushed to Wednesday. For now, the reading assignment for Wednesday (Sept. 10) remains the same, though it is unlikely that we will get to Problem 4 until the following week. Of course, I will know more once we finish class on Monday. It is possible we will defer our discussion of Gonzales v. Raich as well.
Thanks for all of the questions and vigorous discussion last night. I really enjoyed it.
