I strongly recommend you pick a topic on a recent SCOTUS case, one which will allow you to focus clearly on real constitutional issues recently decided by (or currently before) SCOTUS.
Here are a few ideas that work for this course. Please choose one of these:
1. Stare Decisis and Constitutional Law (after Dobbs, are other substantive due process cases likely to be overruled? Which ones? How would both sides argue the issues?)
2. Beyond Dobbs (overruling Roe)
3. Fulton and the future of Free Exercise
4. New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen (Second Amendment right to carry)
5. 303 Creative LL.C v. Elenis (Masterpiece Cakeshop 2.0 currently on cert docket of SCOTUS)
6. 14A Privileges or Immunities Clause and Original Understanding (which rights are fundamental?)
7. Carson v. Makin and religious discrimination in educational vouchers
8. Mahanoy and off campus student speech
9. Kennedy v. Bremerton School District (public school coach has right to pray on field after games)
10.Students for Fair Admissions Inc (race-based preferences in higher ed admissions; currently before the Court)
