Description

On October 7, 2019, The Federalist Society held a panel on Stare Decisis at its annual Kentucky Chapters Conference.

This spring, Justice Breyer wrote, in response to the Supreme Court's decision to overrule Nevada v. Hall, "Today’s decision can only cause one to wonder which cases the Court will overrule next."  But is the Roberts Court actually more aggressive in overruling precedents than previous Courts?  How does the Kentucky Supreme Court compare?  And when should a Court overrule a precedent?  This latter question divides many originalists and textualists, in part because it cuts across ideological lines.  Our panel will explore these topics, with a focus on the intersection of originalist principles and the principles of stare decisis.

• Cassie Chambers Armstrong - Kaplan Johnson Abate & Bird; Vice Chair, Kentucky Democratic Party
• Prof. Michael Morley - Assistant Professor, Florida State University College of Law
• John Sheller - Stoll Keenon Ogden
• Hon. Laurance VanMeter - Kentucky Supreme Court
• Moderator: Hon. Amul Thapar - U.S. Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit

Description

On October 7, 2019, The Federalist Society held a panel on The First Amendment at its annual Kentucky Chapters Conference.

From Twitter blocking to Peace Crosses to religious exemptions and commercial speech, the First Amendment remains perhaps the most hotly and frequently contested aspect of constitutional law. Those disputes are playing out in federal and state courts, and under federal and state constitutions. Notions of judicial restraint have long had less purchase when First Amendment claims are at stake, with courts invalidating laws more frequently and offering less deference to legislatures. And in the Twitter era, courts are arguably less guided by traditional arguments from text, original meaning, and precedent than in other contexts. Our panel will take stock of how these debates are playing out in federal and Kentucky courts, and where we can expect the next battle lines to emerge.

• Amy D. Cubbage - Ackerson & Yann, PLLC; ACLU of Kentucky Litigation Review Committee
• Jesse Panuccio - Former Acting Associate Attorney General, U.S. Department of Justice
• William E. Thro - General Counsel, University of Kentucky
• Jonathan D. Urick - Senior Counsel, U.S. Chamber Litigation Center
• Moderator: Hon. John Nalbandian - U.S. Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit
