Only Reasonably Proper Posts from Me Today

I think that WiFi […]

Prof. Rick Garnett (Notre Dame) Guest-Blogging About Justice Breyer’s Establishment Clause Approach
I’m delighted to report that Prof. Rick Garnett (Notre Dame) will be guest-blogging this week about his forthcoming First Amendment Law Review article, “Justice Breyer and the Establishment Clause: Notes on ‘Appeasement’, ‘Legal Judgment’, and ‘Divisiveness’”.

That’s today’s dissent in Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc. v. Goldsmith, written by Justice Kagan and joined by Chief Justice Roberts (see pdf pp. 81-83). But I read the U.S. Reports only for the articles. Note that at least one lower court decision, Cariou v. Prince [not the same Prince] (2d Cir. […]
