"The Supreme Court" is a one-semester course for those curious about how the Court became so liberal in the 1960s through 1980s, and for those interested in learning how the Court can get back on the right path for the future.
This course will harness the power of Conservapedia to build an online constitutional law treatise for the U.S. Supreme Court of the future. Currently the leading constitutional law treatise cites about 3000 decisions, many of which are quickly becoming outdated and overruled by the Roberts Court. The author of that constitutional law treatise, Laurence Tribe, has announced that he will not be publishing an updated edition in the near future. This course and Conservapedia course will fill that void for the online future.
Questions addressed in this course include:
- what precedents are there now 5 conservative votes for overruling? Are there 5 votes to overrule Roe v. Wade?
- which precedents are at risk of being overruled in the upcoming 2007-2008 Term?
- what are the most interesting cases likely to be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court? Should amicus briefs be filed for any upcoming petitions?
- will the Supreme Court grant cert. in the gun control case, and how will it rule?
- What are the judicial philosophies of the U.S. Supreme Court Justices?
- What are the worst liberal decisions rendered by the Court?
This fascinating course will examine critically the worst decisions of the past half-century and consider judicial and legislative corrections to them.
This cutting-edge course will emphasize decisions rendered as recently as this summer and will review cases on the Court's docket for the fall. This course will draw upon the expertise of leading attorneys and activists, including at least one teacher who practices before the U.S. Supreme Court. Utilizing the full power of Conservapedia, this course will incorporate important news about the Court as it occurs and anticipate issues that will dominate political discourse in the upcoming election season.
By the end of the course students will be far more knowledgeable about the most important government institution in the world: the U.S. Supreme Court
