Tuesday, we conclude the first section of our course as we move from the vertical complexity and tensions of federalism to the horizontal complexity and tensions of the separation-of-powers doctrine.
Please read textbook pages 289-303 and 319-335. Since so far we have dealt at some length with the judicial and legislative branch, I will focus discussion on executive branch powers, including the controversial implementation of the "unitary executive theory" under former Pres. George W. Bush, which is not addressed in your textbook.
Also, I will take a few minutes to address moot court topics. Please see posts below for the tentative list of judges and basic rules of procedure. If you have questions, by all means ask me Thursday!
