Select a recent Supreme Court case. Using LexisNexis, SCOTUSblog, and other news and governmental sources, analyze both the decision itself and responses to the decision by Congress.
What will be an ideal response?
Students should present a clear, organized analysis of the selected case. They should consider factors such as whether the case falls under statutory interpretation or constitutional interpretation, what the major arguments on each side were, and what the final outcome of the case was. They should also consider whether and how Congress responded to the case—whether rhetorically, by passing override legislation, or by other means.
