Thanks Yvette, and everyone else. I have been flooded off list and on;
will try to provide a summary in a few days or a week

Hi Paul
I would add Raich to that list - because it was the first case that
significantly narrowed the potential scope of Morrison and Lopez with
respect to Congress' authority to regulate purely intrastate, arguably
non- economic activity. Other cases had either addressed clearly
interstate activity (driver's license info case), or hid behind narrow
statutory construction (ex. Solid Waste, and Jones (the Hobbs Act
case))

Subject: most important recent decisions
I am trying to get a sense of what the most important recent US Sup. Ct.
decisions are for the past 4 terms 02-03
03-04
04-05
and as they come in
05-06
I am trying to identify the 8-10 (more or less) most important decisions
of each term. Off list responses would be find, but it might make an
interesting discussion for a day or two if it is done on list.
I realize this is a totally unscientific survey, but I think it will be
useful as a way of seeing how we (law profs) see the court's
decisions. Obviously most important can be decisions we don't like.
Thanks in advance.
