For Thursday

Monday video--with transcript, without transcript. Panel # 11 Reax Papers due next Monday.

We continue with Right to Die. Consider:

    • According to O'Connor's dissent, how should the problem of end-of-life pain and dying with dignity be resolved.

    • What is different about the constitutional arguments in Vacco and how does the court resolve them?

    • How do equal protection and substantive due process interact?

We then move to Sexual Liberty, focusing on Bowers and Lawrence. Consider:

    • Note the precise laws at issue in both cases and how the Court defines the right at issue in the two cases. What changed?

    • How do equality principles play into this? What is the equal protection argument that could have been made in Bowers and that were around the periphery in Lawrence?

    • What role does and should morality play with respect to the interests government might serve
