Constitutional Law

As with past Constitutional Law supplements, The 2019 Supplement will contain excerpts from recent scholarly articles and books and from Supreme Court decisions during the Court's 2018 Term.

Among the new Supreme Court decisions that will be included in the 2019 Supplement will be the following:

-
Gundy v. United States, which may well enforce the anti-delegation doctrine for the first time since the 1930s (in Chapter 4 on The Distribution of National Powers).


-
Timbs v. Indiana, holding that the excessive fine clause is incorporated against the states (in Chapter 6 on Implied Fundamental Rights).


-
Lamone v. Benisek, which will deal with partisan gerrymandering (in Chapter 6 on Implied Fundamental Rights).


-
Iancu v. Brunetti, which will address whether the First Amendment protects the use of the word "FUCT" as a trademark (in Chapter 7 of Freedom of Expression).


-
Maryland-National Capital Park & Planning Comm'n v. American Humanist Ass'n, which will address whether the Bladensburg Peace Cross violates the Establishment Clause (in Chapter VIII on The Constitution and Religion).
