Monday round-up
Briefly:
- In the New York Times, Adam Liptak previews Uzuegbunam v. Preczewski, a case that will be argued before the Supreme Court this fall. The justices, Liptak writes, will decide whether a student at a public college can sue officials “for violating his First Amendment rights when they enforced a particularly severe version of the school speech codes that have become commonplace at colleges and universities around the nation.” The officials argue that the case is moot because, after the lawsuit was filed, the college changed its policy.
- At Jost on Justice, Kenneth Jost asserts that the Trump administration is engaged in “open defiance” of two landmark rulings from June: Bostock v. Clayton County and Department of Homeland Security v. Regents of the University of California. The administration has not notified employers that, under Bostock, Title VII prohibits discrimination against LGBTQ employees, and the administration, contrary to Regents, continues to try to limit the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, Jost writes.
- A new Supreme Court podcast, Legal Docket, takes a deep dive into key rulings from the 2019-20 term, starting with Babb v. Wilkie, on age discrimination, and County of Maui v. Hawaii Wildlife Fund, on the Clean Water Act.
