INCLUDED IN THIS NEW EDITION OF CONSTITUTIONAL LAW EMANUEL(R) LAW OUTLINE Coverage of key 2023-2024 Supreme Court developments, including:
Trump v. U.S., holding that Presidents are entitled to at least a presumption of immunity from criminal prosecution for their official acts. In some contexts, the immunity is absolute, and in others, the President benefits from a strong "presumption of immunity" that will be difficult for the prosecution to rebut. U.S. v. Rahimi, a Second Amendment case, holding that government may restrict certain persons from owning guns. However, the restriction must be "relevantly similar" to restrictions that existed in 1791. Moody v. NetChoice, LLC, indicating that government likely violates the free-expression rights of a social media platform if government enacts an "anti-censorship" rule that requires the platform to include third-party posts that the platform wants to keep off the site. Murthy v. Missouri, a case about standing, holding that a plaintiff does not have standing unless she can show that a favorable outcome in the suit would "redress" the harm from whatever action (usually a government action) the plaintiff is challenging.
