2301: Last week the Supreme Court heard arguments in Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, a case which pits the civil liberty claims of a religious institution against the civil rights claim of an individual, or in other words, religious liberty (the ministerial exception) v. the rights of the disabled.
As with last week's class I want you to outline the dispute, the arguments presented on either side, as well as the arguments made in the oral arguments made before the court last week (you can listen to them here).
2302: I want to build off last week's assignment regarding the president as military king by having you dig more deeply into the question about whether the recent killing of al Awlaki fit within the appropriate scope of presidential commander in chief powers? Below I linked to a recent New York Times article which pointed out that Obama Administration advisers outlined why the right did in fact exist, but of course many disagree.
So detail as well as you can what arguments justified the killing, and what other sorts of things might also fall within his power. Be sure to outline the arguments against it as well.
